 GatesAir suspends sale of AM transmitters

When a prominent radio engineer passed along word to *Radio World* that
he’d sought a quote from the manufacturer on a new transmitter but was told
the company had discontinued the model and was assessing its AM line, we
sought to learn more.

Chief Product Officer Rich Redmond replied: “Recent changes in the
long-term availability of critical components from our suppliers, including
several last-time buy notices, have caused us to take proactive steps to
ensure we can meet our continued support obligation of our AM products,� he
said.

“To safeguard our ability to offer an ample supply of spare components —
and to secure the ongoing field support of our AM transmitters — GatesAir
has taken the responsible step of suspending new AM transmitter sales, and
will instead focus on supporting existing customers’ transmitters with our
available components.�

He said warranty, field service, phone support, spare parts and repairs
continue as normal for GatesAir AM products.

Flexiva DAX, DX and 3DX transmitters all had a number of obsolete
components that influenced the decision.

“GatesAir is currently in the advanced technology assessment phase for the
development of an updated line of AM transmitters,� Redmond said.
