Hi Eric...
I've pretty much struck out trying to find an installation "BSP" for that
amplifier based on it's "KS" number. Who knows where all those old books
go?
Do you have to replace that same unit with a like unit? Or could you
subsitute another product? If so, visit M.W. Persons (www.mwpersons.com) -
they seem to specialize in "stuff" for the radio broadcast industry. Or
look around at Tellabs (www.tellabs.com) or Westell (www.westell.com). Bear
in mind, the days of analog transmission facilities are back there in the
past somewhere, but some old heads may still be lurking with just the info
you need!
Good Luck!
