Until May 2025 the endec that ran ERN/KNA was a SAGE 1822 graybox unit. These began production around 1996 and continued presumably until the introduction of the bluebox in 2008. This was a relay of a WBAP originated Texas AMBEr Alert on March 24, 2025.
The unit is still around, but its likely broken now. Another ERn participant was having issues with his SAGE 1822 and I sent mine to him for him to try and swap parts between, and to use my unit to run his station. However, apparently, mine’s started doing the same random glitching out and rebooting that his was doing, and plus its not urgent that i get it back, I’ve got the DASDEC. My plan for the SAGE is/was, some day, to spin up another station, KNAClassics, which would run music excusively from the 50s to the mid 90s.
