Show T U Plan Is Given At Meeting Here Explanation of how a telivision "translator-transmitter" system would bring T V to Roosevelt will be given at a meeting in the American Legion Hall tonight. C. E. Kitto, field engineer for Adler Electronics will explain his firm's T V translator-transmitter unit, an installation which picks up T V signals from the telecasting telecast-ing stations and re-transmits them to homes in the area it serves. The transmitter comes supplied with an antenna and is placed at a heighth of 200 feet or more above the area it serves for best results. At 200 feet above the community, com-munity, the transmitter serves an area four miles long by 2l2 miles wide; 500 feet, 6y2 miles long by 414 miles wide; 1,000 feet, 10 miles long by 6Y2 miles wide. Each translator-transmitter operates oper-ates on one channel only. If the community or group desires to pick up more broadcasting channels, chan-nels, other translator- transmitters must be installed for each channel. The transmitters, serving "shadow" "shad-ow" areas blocked from normal telivision by mountains, picks up the signal and automatically retransmits re-transmits it on its own channel- If more than one unit is installed, in-stalled, they operate alongside each other without interference and only one tower is needed for sev eral translator-transmitters. (Bringing the service to Roosevelt Roose-velt would require some community com-munity action to co-operate on purchase and operation of the unit. |
