Product Information
Specification

Tornado Transmitter

The Tornado is a 5-15W solid state AM broadcast transmitter.

It uses the latest digital modulation techniques to deliver one of the most efficient AM transmitter.

An un-cluttered front panel offers easy and intuitive control and monitoring of all transmitter functions via the built in Menu.

For maximum ruggedness the transmitter has extensive fault protection, including monitoring SWR, over voltage, current, and temperature conditions.

Automatic tuning and modulation compression simplifies transmitter setup up and operations.

For ease of use the transmitter incorporates VU, Modulation, Voltage, and Power meters.
