Silent Drive for Vital KKCR Equipment
The Need: KKCR has been hit with some equipment failures this year that fall outside of our already strained yearly budget. Some of this equipment is pretty old and needed retirement. Some is a big surprise. Since we already replaced our broadcast equipment this year, we are asking for special support. Together, we exceeded our goal! We are ecstatic! All excess funds will STAY in the Equipment Fund. Stay tuned for installation!
The Ask: Here is the equipment we need:
| Item | Brand | Price | What Happened | Importance |
| Broadcast Telephone | Telos Vset 6. (This is a special phone that allows for callers to speak on air and be heard by dj and guests) |
$1000.00 Funded! |
When updating the broadcast consoles, the on-air phone failed, so we replaced it with the phone from Studio B. | A new phone will create redundancy against the other phone of equal age failing and keep interactive community radio alive. |
| Transmitter Air Conditioning | Ice-Cube IQ4000VS-230-GY-N4 (It’s a cellular enclosure but good for radio transmitters) |
$3078.00 Funded! |
These fail in the harsh Hawaiian elements. We have historically replaced one every 4 years. This A/C will be placed in the stainless steel casing we already have. | It keeps the transmitter cool and running optimally at Nihoku, our main transmitter site on the North Shore. |
| Microwave Receiving Antenna |
SCALA CL-FMRX/HRM/50 88-108MHz LOG periodic FM Receive Antenna. 50 ohm type-N connector. |
$1720.00 Funded! |
We think it was damaged inadvertently by another technician. | This receives the radio transmission from the station to N Kapaa on to Koloa.It is currently fuzzy. |
| Transmitting Antenna |
SCALA-HDCA-5CP/RM/50N 91 MHz YAGI ANTENNA For 91.9MHz |
$3300.00 Funded! |
Age and wear and tear in the harsh Kauai wind. This antenna is several years old. | This sends the radio transmission from Moloaa to Haena. 91.9FM is currently fuzzy due to its damage. |
| Laptop Computer | Anything goes |
$500.00 Funded! |
To program and perform maintenance on our new broadcast console, we need a modern laptop with Windows 11 installed. | |
| Total Need | $9598.00 | Total Funded: $11,667!! |

PSA from Dean:
Hi, I’m Dean, the Director of Operations at KKCR. You may have noticed our terrestrial broadcast is a little fuzzy. The station has a few equipment needs and we are asking you for support that extends beyond our operating budget. We need two antennae, an air conditioner for our transmitter and a few other items. You can find all the information at kkcr.org. This is a very tangible way to support KKCR with a gift that is directly earmarked for equipment. Head over to kkcr.org and make your gift today. Thank you for all your years of support for KKCR.
