OK - for your radio station guys, don't do what I just did. Supposedly, we were supposed to air a Washington Husky football game. It was supposed use a different channel and frequency of the Starguide receiver. OK, so far so good. One problem....the Starguide receiver was supplied by ABC....on GE-8. I had an open port to use on that receiver. So, I called Sporting Radio Master Control to have the receiver authorized to pick up the broadcasts. They did authorize the receiver and that promptly blew off the ABC news feed on Port "A". Master Control is on AMC-8, not GE-8. Different frequency. After stringing emergency audio cables from another ABC receiver to feed the main bus, I was out of trouble. ABC had to re-authorize the orginal receiver to kick off SNRMC and walk me through re-configuration of the Starguide III. After I got ABC News back on the air, I called SNRMC to let them know that this will not work. Naturally, they gracefully apologized. Now I know why radio stations have a whole raft of Starguide receivers since SATCOM C-5 went away. Now I know why other engineers are bitching. The Husky broadcast? Well, supposedly we will have another Starguide III tomorrow to add to our pile of Starguides. ![](http://www.film-tech.com/ubb/eek.gif) Definately a bad day at the office.
