Burk ARC Plus Touch: Modern Transmitter Remote Control for Radio Stations

If you operate a radio transmitter site, reliable remote control is no longer optional — it’s mission-critical. The Burk ARC Plus Touch is one of the most trusted transmitter remote control systems in broadcasting, delivering powerful monitoring, control, and automation for AM, FM, and translator facilities.

At Radio Gearheads, we work with real stations, real sites, and real problems. The ARC Plus Touch is a solution we recommend because it reduces downtime, minimizes site visits, and gives engineers full control from anywhere.

What Is the Burk ARC Plus Touch?

The Burk ARC Plus Touch is an IP-based transmitter remote control system designed to replace aging legacy remotes with a modern, network-connected platform. It allows engineers and station managers to monitor critical parameters, control equipment, and respond to alarms remotely — whether they’re in the studio, at home, or on the road.

It’s widely used in:

• AM and directional AM transmitter sites

• FM main and auxiliary facilities

• Translator and booster sites

• Multi-station broadcast clusters

Key Features Broadcast Engineers Rely On

Remote Monitoring and Control

The ARC Plus Touch provides real-time metering, status, and control of transmitters and site equipment. Forward power, reflected power, voltages, currents, temperatures, and alarms are all visible at a glance.

Multiple Access Options

You can access the system through:

• The built-in full-color touchscreen

• A web browser (no special software required)

• Mobile devices

• Optional telephone access for backup control

This flexibility means you’re never locked out of your site.

Intelligent Alarm Notifications

Custom alarm logic allows alerts to be sent by email or text message based on severity and conditions. Instead of nuisance alerts, you get actionable notifications that help you fix problems faster.

Automation with Jet™ Active Flowcharts

Built-in automation lets you create intelligent responses — such as switching transmitters, resetting equipment, or changing operating modes — using visual flowcharts rather than complex programming.

Scalable, Future-Ready Design

The ARC Plus Touch supports large channel counts and integrates easily with IP-based and SNMP-enabled equipment. As your facility grows, the system grows with you.

Why Radio Stations Choose the ARC Plus Touch

In real-world broadcast environments, the Burk ARC Plus Touch is used to:

• Reduce emergency transmitter site visits

• Improve response time to off-air conditions

• Maintain compliance and operational stability

• Centralize control across multiple facilities

• Provide peace of mind for station owners and engineers

For many stations, it becomes the central command system for their entire technical operation.
