Hey Bob Don't Knock that BE AM1A its a great sounding little transmitter we have one over at WVPO that's what replaced the Collins 300G . BTW its normal for that BE AM1A to come with a Stereo Card unless they asked for them not to include the card... that's what the rep for BE told me at the NAB show in Philly last month. the stereo card is only $850 if it didn't come with it.. usually its in there and the switch is off. Please tell me that they did get the card.. Please.. Neal
