Our transmitter room was broken into and our BW Broadcast TX300V2 Transmitter, Sage Digital Endec Model 3644 EAS and related equipment were stolen, which has taken our FM signal off the air. We're working towards repairing/fortifying that room, replacing the

1. Does anyone know of loaner/rental/discounted transmitters? I have a couple calls into folks who are checking (the ones known to us are in use, but I'm still making calls), but if anyone has any leads, that would be extremely helpful. </div>
