KFI is having a lot of bad luck with transmitters and antennas.

So now that they have had two transmitters burn up anyone know why that
happened?
Because they were broadcasting in HD?

I suppose that is possible.

I was thinking more along the lines of the cooling system failed or a
HV component failed shorting out the final stage.

There are protections for both of those. However I must point out that
solid state transmitters have no B+.


So what is the voltage out the finals on a solid state transmitter?


After the output matching network a little under 1,600 Volts.
