India "AIR is unable to put back the two [external service DRM] transmitters back to service due to non-availability of spares," says Yogendra Pal, Honorary Chair India Chapter, of the DRM Consortium, and citing official sources. He adds, " These are high-power valve based transmitters. AIR doesn't have valves used in the final stages of these transmitters, thus, is unable to operate these transmitters. They are unable to procure these valve so far."
Two 100 kW DRM SW transmitters by AIR have just been
installed, according to Mr. Pal. "They are waiting for the
testing cum commissioning team. Both these 100 kW transmitters are
expected to start carrying DRM service within a month," Mr Pal says.
