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

Note that the advertised limit on the WholeHouse is 150 ft; you were
looking for twice that.
Also, it's frequency limitations may or may not be an issue dependent on

buying.

From my experience, .2 mhz away is too close if competing with a strong

If it is a rinshot some distance away, that would be fine.

minimum.

Also, they can tune that transmitter to work with the lower portion of the

The V6000 looks very interesting! Not only is it reasonably priced at

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.

distance anyway as that

Think of it in the same way as you would for a regular fm broadcaster.
