The transmitter is the heart of any radio station.
Most new transmitters are very expensive-often the largest single purchase most stations ever make.
Many times older transmitters-even those in apparently bad shape--still have a lot of life left in them and can be cost-effectively rebuilt and returned to reliable service.
This is where MP&A can help the broadcaster who needs to make every dollar count, with our years of experience rebuilding and retuning transmitters.
When we rebuild a transmitter, we give it a thorough cleaning, replace all damaged or worn parts, tune it for full power, maximum efficiency, and best audio quality, and verify that all control and overload functions are working properly.

MP&A has been building phasors for AM DA sites for several years now.
We started out rebuilding older phasors for re-use in new or upgraded site, and moved on from there to design, build and paint our own aluminum cabinets.
Our phasors are lightweight yet extremely sturdy, with easily-removable side panels and rear doors for easy parts access.
The quality of parts we use is high; in many cases we reach outside the conventional phasor parts suppliers to embrace industrial electronics parts, noted for their toughness and reliability.
