Angel Think of these transmitters as a small radio station. You wish to listen to your favorite oldies, country, rB, classical, talk, sports, news, and so one station -- so what do you do? You find it on the radio dial, and if the signal from the station is strong enough and your radio is

300 ft is far beyond the range of the CCRANE unit. And legally speaking here in the US, it is beyond the permitted limits given power parameters. I don't recall where I saw it -- it was a site selling transmitters -- but it had a nice chart which nicely elaborated reception expectations at

Donald From my experience, .2 mhz away is too close if competing with a strong local. If it is a rinshot some distance away, that would be fine. In a metro area, in the commercial portion of the fm band, you want .4 mhz minimum. When you want to hear God laugh, tell Him your plans . --

Also, they can tune that transmitter to work with the lower portion of the fm band in the 88-89 mhz area from what I recall. Dependent on area, that might (or might not) work best in a given area. That, for instance, would be a preferred choice where I am in western Illinois currently but

It's not a feet transmitting limit; rather, it's a strength calculation. And effectively, from what I recall, at 150 ft or so, if you were even able to pick up a signal, it would be a quite weak one. Most folks living in urban or suburban areas don't need that bit of distance anyway as that

Doc Think of it in the same way as you would for a regular fm broadcaster. If I told you that transmits on 106.7, you would tune your radio to fm 106.7. Same with the transmitter. You want to hear its signal, if you have it set to send it on 106.7, you best have your radio on fm 106.7.
