What equipment do I need to start a station?

For a radio station, you will need audio sources (tape players, CDplayers, microphones, etc.), an audio mixer, a transmitter, a coaxial cable (usually RG-8 or RG-58/U) to carry the signal from your transmitter to your antenna, and an antenna.

A piece of equipment called a compressor/limiter is also very important. It reduces the level of sudden loud sounds so that they don't over-drive the transmitter, and brings up the volume of quiet sounds so that people riding in cars and listening in other noisy environments can hear them. Radio stations that operate without a compressor/limiter sound very amateurish and run a higher risk of interfering with stations on nearby frequencies.

For television, you also will need video sources (cameras, videotape players, character generators, etc.) and a video switcher.
