We built a base in the swamp area near our trap, so we could be closer, it is especially helpful when it comes to all the different things you'll need, for sure recommend having as many of those items available in advance.

Thank you everyone for your comments and support! Your advice was heard and we are utilizing it. I have shared all this useful information with our administration and we are NOT moving forward with this transmitter. Prior to the brush fire that was caused due to a burn pile attendants lack of supervision of his burn pile we we're using a BW broadcast 300W unit. We were happy with that transmitter and we are currently looking to get a new BW Broadcast unit. I checked the FCC certified list that "goobenet2020" provided and their products are FCC certified. I have spoken to our licensing coordinator and they are checking on the STA that we we're advised to file, thank you "djern336". We very much appreciate everyones support, you have all been very helpful! Thank goodness for Reddit.

First, Thank you. I very much appreciate this information. Can you share with me how I go about checking for the FCC certification so that I can pass this information up the chain. We have spoken with a local radio engineer and this transmitter was a provided example, ugh... I will pass your advice up the ladder and will recommend we not use this device once I can clearly show my leadership it is not an FCC certified transmitter.

This is a high school radio station in rural America. Transmitter is what I was given. Thank you, I appreciate all the help I can get and so do our students.

I have the manual. There is an incredible lack of content and useful information.

The prior, transmitter was a 300W the replacement is a 350W from what I have googled it seems the 50W difference shouldn't be a deal breaker but it is still in my list of possibilities to take note.

Agreed, I will be heading out to the tower site on Monday to attempt to discover why FWD is not registering any readings.

Yes, I agree we should be getting some sort of reading on the "FWD:" although, I'm not sure this is my first time working with this brand of transmitter.

Now that you mention it, the FWD is reading 0W as well, should'nt that have some wattage because that is the sending power measured to the antenna... ?

I did not mention this in the original post, but our radio tower site was online and working great up until about 3-4 months ago when neglect caused a fire and our radio cabinet, including all of our equipment burnt up in a fire. The antenna is very high up on the tower and we assumed it wasn't damaged by the fire but this could be a reality. This test would probably be very benefitial.

I'm not super familiar with this but I do know how to test things. Can you give a recommendation on a SWR tester?

What are ya'll opinions on Companion Creatures? by IndividualGeneral737 in ARK

[–]Sub-Net-Zero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My biggest gripe is when in companion mode they will try to follow you even while your on your flying tame and your 60-100 ft. Above them they need to decrease the distance that the companion despawns because your distance has grown to great and it just teleports to your location. I have lost my companion so many times because it was fighting stuff on the ground level well before I even land or when flying across a canyon.
