When audio processing is dialed in right, it can make all the difference. "That's the way that song should sound! That's what I've always wanted to hear in my head." #audioprocessing

Want to discover hidden radio stations others miss? There's an app that shows field strength, coverage, and terrain profiles to find distant signals. Even shows signal quality: "Green is probably good, yellow's marginal..." #Radio #Tech

Ideal HD radio? When you can't tell the difference between HD and FM. Some stations nail it; others? Just "HD Radio *asterisk*" on the metadata. A missed chance to connect. #Radio #HDradio #Radio #HDradio

It's wild how some HD radio stations squander their metadata space on ads instead of artist/title info. Talk about missing the point! "That does not make sense." #HDradio

Thinking your provider has its own network? Think again. Sometimes "resiliency" is just layers of middlemen. Find out whose fiber really feeds your tower. #Networking #FiberOptics #Networking #FiberOptics

Thinking your backup plan is solid? Don't assume! That second fiber line might share the same glass as your primary. Do the research & ask questions! Seen this happen? #FiberOptics #TechTips

Treating Cisco switches like used cars? A brand new one is worth the cost for core, but a secondary market find works as a solid backup. #TechTip Seen this? #TechTip #BroadcastTech

Thinking your backup plan is solid? Don't assume! That second fiber line might share the same glass as your primary. Do the research & ask questions! Seen this happen? #FiberOptics #TechTips

Building studios that withstand lightning strikes? The trick: isolating them electrically so they don't become multiple paths to ground. One connection & surge protection. #ProAudio #StudioLife

Ethernet switch selection is critical for systems of any size. Stations can get in trouble if they exceed the IGMP table size! #TechTip #TechTip

Considering Starlink for a last-mile option? It's proven to be a game-changer, especially during hurricane season when traditional systems fail. Redundancy is key—engineers are designing systems with multiple backups to maintain service. #Starlink #EmergencyComms

Many SBE members may not be aware that the SBE has legal counsel. They represent the desires, needs, thoughts, and concerns of broadcast engineers and the engineering community. #SBE #legalCounsel

The potential reallocation of C-band satellite spectrum is a hot topic, as cellular and aviation industries want what is currently used for program distribution. C-band satellite is hard to beat for program distribution, even with internet availability. #CBand #Satellite

Engaging with peers and networking at conferences and local chapters provides invaluable insights and experiences, helping professionals advance their careers and understand industry changes. #Networking #CareerGrowth

Becoming president was a natural step, driven by a vision to give back and ensure future members have the same opportunities. Involvement in SBE offers camaraderie, networking, and insights beyond one's daily job, fostering professional growth. #leadership #networking

Remote access to radio station equipment is becoming essential, especially in Latin America. Engineers need to connect, control, and monitor equipment from anywhere. Audio over IP and Ethernet connectivity are making this easier than ever. #radioengineering #remoteaccess

Latin America is rapidly embracing audio over IP due to its numerous benefits. Despite some resistance from older engineers clinging to analog, the advantages of IP consoles are becoming undeniable, with major groups transitioning to them. #AudioOverIP #LatinAmerica

RDS can help stations be found online, while HD Radio adoption varies by region. Audio over IP is within reach for engineers, even with language barriers. #radio #technology

The Spanish language has many variations across Latin American countries. What might be an ordinary word in one country could be a curse word in another. Even something as simple as 'avocado' has different names depending on location! #SpanishLanguage #Localization

A station manager's reluctance to invest in RDS changed abruptly when he experienced its benefits firsthand. Engineers, RDS offers numerous advantages, from displaying call letters to enhancing online discoverability. #RDS #radiotechnology
