Customers love Eddystone! Manx Radio recently updated an Eddystone transmitter which had been on-air for over 21 years to our latest range. The old transmitter had 100% up-time. BFBS (British Forces Broadcasting Service) have tortured our transmitters all over the world in war zones; in the desert sun, the freezing winter months, filled them with dust and sand, put them in the salt air of the tropics… and still they carry on working! This transmitter in Scotland was still on-air! We are the standard supplier to the BBC World Service, The United Nations and BFBS. Nobody demands a more reliable and robust transmitter. Eddystone. Our customers keep coming back, and back… Two Locks Radio after a storm!
