FM Transmitter

[wjohn]

Hi,

I decided to buy a FM transmitter from China, in preference to using a Belkin or another IPOD style transmitter. The unit I purchased off ebay was rated at 200 mW, and has the follow specs:

Frequency range: 87.5MHz ~ 108 MHz
Tuning Step: 100kHz
Transmit Power: 200 mwatts(Cover about 150 meters)
Stability of Frequency: ±10ppm?-10?~+50??
Ripple or harmonic waves: <= -60dB
Modulate Frequency error:<=75KHz?100%?
Freq. Response: 100~15000Hz
Antenna Connector: SIP
Audio Input Connector: SIP
Power Supply: 12V DC (The current load of power supply should over 2A)

I trialed the FM transmitter today, and with 2 metres of light hookup wire, taped to my study wall, I was still able to hear my music 800 Metres away (about 2 blocks). Clear Line Of Site improved reception as I noted I lost coverage as I droven down in a gully, and improved as I came out of the low area.

the Shipping is a bit expensive, but for speed and function, I highly recommend. (maybe go in with a couple of buyers and split the costs).

Nice and small compared to the Ramsey.

It looks like a good deal! How much was shipping? I assume is is PLL enabled? The Ramsey FM25B is $140 unassembled.

I feel like two blocks is plenty of range for our purposes.

$30 US Shipping. Looks interesting! Cheaper then the kits I got last year!! and especially if you throw in the cost of the Tuncast I went with anyway...

If a group shipping rate can be found I would probably go in on one.

I too would be interested if a group could be put together.


Is that the only shipping choice? At the bottom of the blue area there is a another shipping type

Flat international shipment via air mail 8-10 business days $20

I have emailed them to see if we can get a multi piece discount for shipping. I will let you know. If it all works out I dont mind placing the order and then distributing them once they arrive. They seem to be fairly small so shipping should not be very much.

If you can get the mass shipment, I will buy one also. Thanks

A group buy may be better direct. (if you can buy from them and read the page. )
