I'd love to set up a 90's radio station at one of the vintage computer fests. thinking Arrakis DigiLink automation (or a similar automation system from the 90's), AES digital audio console, Optimod 8200 processor, Moseley DSP6000A STL, CD/tape cart machines, Crown FM2000A transmitter. have a production setup and an on-air setup, racks for studio and transmitter
the way I'd set up the on-air side is to have audio run out of the board, through any in-studio equipment I'd need it to (probably EBS hardware), go into the STL transmitter which is hard-wired to the receiver. after the STL receiver, it goes into the Optimod for processing, and into the Crown transmitter. the FM2000A's power amp needs 240v so I'd probably just be using the FM100 exciter with the 2000's amplifier sitting in the rack unplugged.
the exciter would be on a dummy load with the RF monitor output connected to a tuner, that tuner would run as an external input to the board and feed an internet stream for convention participants (and the outside world) to listen to. load it up with era-appropriate music and ads for other vendors and con events, stuff like that.
