Sprint/Nextel is allowing qualified broadcasters to choose our state of the art Spectrum Analyzers as part of their 2 GHz relocation package. The LPT-3000R is ideal for setting up “live shots” plus it has 3 more RF inputs that can be used to monitor L-Band satellite feed, Digital transmitters as well as the 2 GHz from the antenna and the IF from the receiver in any ENG environment. With the ever changing World of Digital Broadcasting, versatility is a must and LP Technologies brings you the best solution without costly, unnecessary upgrades in the future

Sprint/Nextel Guidelines for Spectrum Monitoring
Ancillary Equipment: Spectrum Monitoring

? Sprint Nextel considers spectrum monitoring solutions as a requirement for comparable facilities and thus eligible for inclusion in the Broadcaster's relocation compensation. Generally, Sprint Nextel has set a not-to-exceed cap on spectrum monitoring solutions of $3500 per receive site, but there are permutations to this guideline. Examples include:

? Scenario 1. A station has one receiver at a receive site and one link to backhaul it to the station.
Station receives: $3500 for the spectrum monitor for that receiver and a $1000 software/monitor
allowance for the whole system (assuming that this is not the only receive site).

? Scenario 2. A station has two receivers at a receive site and one link to backhaul them to the station. Currently, they use a video switcher to switch between the outputs of the two receivers. Station receives: $3500 for a spectrum monitor, a $1000 allowance to switch the IF outputs from the receiver into the spectrum monitor, and a $1000 software/monitor allowance for the whole system. The $1000 allowance for the switch cannot be applied to anything else, and it's to be applied to any switching arrangement desired whether it's an in-house built station olution or a commercial product.

? Scenario 3. A station has two receivers at a receive site and two links to get them both back to the station. Station receives: 2 x $3500 for two spectrum monitors - one for each backhaul since the station is used to looking at both receivers simultaneously, and a $1000 software/monitor allowance
for the whole system. Any other scenarios are combinations of the above three. For example, a station that had three receivers
and 2 backhauls at a receive site would combine Scenario 1 and Scenario 2 above.
