Contact BSW for your pricing and shipping!

Tens of millions of hours of real world operational experience is reflected in the design and construction of the XR series. The result is unparalleled performance and reliability.

The building block for the XR3 and XR6 transmitters is a power module integrating multiple RF amplifier units. The individual RF amplifiers and modulator units are connected to the power modules using plug-in industry standard “D” connectors and bolted directly to a heatsink. Servicing consists of simple exchange, using only a screwdriver. Component level repair can be performed at a workbench or near the transmitter using a convenient test cable that provides all test signals from the host transmitter.
