Not sure about the digital issues.  But you can buy from Henry Eng. and from IT vendors these neat little remote controlled AC power boxes designed for just your sort of issue...where you need to recycle the power on some peice of gear at a remote site.

I have a couple of questions – What is the point of PCR re-stamping? If I was told I can’t remember.
 
I have a digital transmitter that we use as a STL/intercity relay – Digital CH23. On the mountain top I have a Drake unit that converts CH 23 to an ASI stream that I feed to my Full Power transmitter on a different channel. I feed my STL/intercity relay with a steady stream at 19.392Mbs from my multiplexer.
 
At least once a month I lose my PSIP data on some manufactures digital convertor boxes. I also get weird video and audio issues … I go up to the mountain top, reset the Drake(unplug and plug back in) and poof everything is back in order. 
 
Well – I thought there may be a problem with the STL/intercity relay, maybe it was causing a drift by doing something to my ASI stream that eventually screws up the Drake on the mountain. I called the manufacture and they said – the only thing that might cause that is if the PCR re-stamping was turned on … ???
 
I drilled into the menu of the modulator on my transmitter and sure enough the PCR re-stamping was selected. Would that cause this issue? It also had “Del Null Padding” which by its default was disabled. I left that one alone. 
 
Any ideas? Or is this a direct result of the digital world, and I’m going to have to come up with some kind of remote reset for the Drake?
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Bill
