Burk Watchband Remote AM/FM/RDS Receiver

The Watchband Remote AM/FM/RDS Receiver delivers web-based market monitoring tools to engineers, managers and program directors.

Watchband can create detailed playlist reports for any station broadcasting artist and song title information with Radio Text. Managers and program directors can then compare their own rotations to other stations in the market. Engineers can monitor real-time field intensity data for any station, as well as review strip charts for analysis of the entire band. Stereo, phase, and L/R audio levels, averages and peaks, are logged for immediate alarm reporting or historical review.

Watchband logs and graphs receiver data for review and analysis. Loss of stereo, out of phase conditions and changes in signal strength can be sent via email notifications, allowing users to keep track of activity on their own stations or on their competitors’ stations. Audio logging can be configured to record scheduled time blocks on a specific station or to skim multiple stations.

Features:

• View playlists for competitive stations
• Listen live or play back logged audio for any station in the market
• Monitor program and audio quality via the web
• Compare the signal strength to competitors and other stations
• Receive email alerts for audio alarms and off-air conditions
• Correlate out-of-phase conditions with ad spots, syndication or other sources
