  Exclusive Features    
  Information Station Specialists, Inc., (ISS) is the sole provider in the United States of the exclusive RadioSTAT Portable Emergency Advisory Radio Station. Other specific-area radio systems cannot perform any of the following important functions:  
 
  1. RadioSTAT is the only system of its kind that is comprised of a transmitter/audio system mounted in a weather-resistant shock case to allow maximum in portability (via handles/wheels) and flexibility (it may be used on the ground or on a building roof).

  2. Only the RadioSTAT Portable Emergency Advisory Radio Station features black antennas that discourage ice build-up. Also, they are finished with a special UV-resistant, architectural-anodization process to prevent color fading.

  3. Only the RadioSTAT Portable Emergency Advisory Radio Station includes a USB/flash drive-based digital message olayer and includes audio editing software to allow message creation and management on any standard PC or laptop.

  4. Only RadioSTAT provides a version (RadioSTAT IP) to which you additionally can upload audio via Ethernet network.

  5. Only the the RadioSTAT Portable Emergency Advisory Radio Station features a quick-erect antenna stand to support the antenna and connected groundplane that collapses and can be deployed within 10 minutes.

  6. Only RadioSTAT uses an AM transmitter with a modern synthesized frequency system, so that if a frequency change ever is necessary, it can be easily done without component changes or board-level work. RadioSTAT’s TR6000 Transmitter utilizes an efficient Class D amplifier, comprised of only two driver devices for highest reliability. Moreover, TR6000 is the only such unit manufactured and type-accepted by the FCC for Travelers Information Station (TIS) applications in the United States.

  7. ISS’ electronic designs are nonproprietary. This means that in the future, you may change components, as needed without the requirement to return to ISS. Simple wiring diagrams are provided, so you can service equipment yourself, if you choose, or have a third party assist – all with full ISS support.

  8. Additionally, only Information Station Specialists offers technical assistance for the life of the product. ISS supports today radio stations that first went on the air in the 1980s. ISS’ staff of engineers has more than 80 years of combined experience specifically in the kind of radio technology under which RadioSTAT operates (FCC Rules, Part 90.242). This experience level is more than double that of any other company in the business.
