Radio break-in service for local area news. This autopirate system provides event-triggered, intermittent news service. Developed for instant publication of live gunfire audio over local FM; adaptable for other alerts and events of interest.
SPECIFICATIONS: The system consists of an event-activated FM radio transmitter for neighbourhood installation. When news activity is detected, transmitter powers up automatically to broadcast a brief burst of live audio data over local FM [average duration 2-5 seconds, adjustable]. News content consists of either a) burst of realtime audio from the event location; or b) system generated report. BIT transmitter is tuned to break in clearly over other network stations, for rapid information delivery to established audiences. When the BIT news has been delivered, transmitter powers down automatically and normal scheduled programming will resume. This frequency-sharing strategy does not assume collaboration of host/carrier news station, see schematic. BIT radio news effects a microinterruption to normal broadcast services. For a review of the contention that the airwaves are a scarce resource see FCC role as bandwidth conservationists. Bureau operation makes use of brief, economical, intermittent signals: technically difficult to pinpoint, or to classify as violation by detection forces eg. FCC, DTI, ACA, trained in long-play music/community format radio deterrence. Contact the Bureau for more security information.
HOW CAN I GET A BIT RADIO: units soon to be available in kit form for your domestic application. Supported sensors will include: audio relay for gunfire or explosion; radioactivity level meter; particulate matter accumulation. BUREAU will provide information and installation instructions, technical support. Detailed local reception data including accurate and extensive listener stats, topographic and demographic information can be obtained from carrier stations.
