Technology is on the menu

Feast on more than 170 products to fit various station sizes and budgets. Many of the products featured in this year's Product Source debuted at NAB2005, including a review of the Radio magazine 2005 Pick Hit award recipients. The Radio magazine 2005 Product Source is a resource that you can refer to throughout the coming year.

This year's edition includes five additional courses in the special sections. Peruse these sections for items that may have a special use at the transmitter site, on a remote, in the field production kit or on a bookshelf. Some of the items are not the usual broadcast fare, so they may fill that special need that you may have. An additional special section has been added this year: HD Radio Receivers. If HD Radio equipment is on your table, we've listed several manufacturers of home and vehicle receivers, as well as a brief description of each one.

Also, I welcome your feedback on this annual supplement. Perhaps you use a product that has filled a need like no other. Tell us about it, and we'll add it to the menu. E-mail your comments and suggestions to radio@primediabusiness.com.
