Viewfinder: KLPZ’s new transmitter goes live

After several months of broadcasting at reduced power on a temporary transmitter, KLPZ 1380am in Parker went live this morning with its new signal. The transmitter is the beating heart of a radio station’s infrastructure, and is the core of the operation. KLPZ’s old one was destroyed by an electrical surged caused by lightning during a severe thunderstorm back in June, a first for the station and the reason for the change.

KLPZ is now broadcasting on a state-of-the-art Nautel solid state transmitter with 2,500 watts of power. Radio engineer John R. said listeners should notice a difference in sound quality, especially those outside of Parker in places like Lake Havasu City, Blythe and Quartzsite.

Tune into KLPZ’s live daily shows from Parker, AZ on 1380am or online at klpz1380.com.
