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 sensitive and selective enough to picck it
up, you are listening to it.
If the signal is too weak or a particular radio gets some sort of
interference, then  you don't.
These low-powered personal transmitters work similarily.
You tune the transmitter to a frequency, find that same frequency on the
radio dial, and if all is well, you hear the signal.
Keep in mind, as I mentioned yesterday, not all radios will pick up a
signal with the same clarity -- but that also is the same case as is with
any other radio station.

Hi list,
There is another option.  Here in the sacramento, ca area the fm band is 
very crowded so i use a dedicated av transmitter and reciever.  i have 
two of these units, one working in the 900mhz band and the other working 
in the 2.4 ghz band.  These units consist of a transmitter and 
reciever.  You plug the source into the transmitter and a set of wired 
speakers into the reciever.  They do cover my entire house and yard.  
You can get them on three different bands of frequencies, 900 mhz, which 
are becomming hard to find, 2.4 ghz, which are the most common now and 
5.8 ghz, the newest band to be used.  Some of these broadcast only audio 
while others broadcast both audio and video.  if you do a google search, 
you will be able to find a lot of these.  Amazon sells several types as 
well.

300 ft is far beyond the range of the CCRANE unit.

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
various distance levels.

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.

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 wouldn't necessarily be the preferred option in the 
Ocala, FL area where we are thinking of relocating to.
That is one reason I am currently holding off on purchasing it.

The V6000 looks very interesting!  Not only is it reasonably priced at 
$100, but it offers double flexibility in not only allowing one to select 
frequencies but also in power output as well as powering the unit.
I may be an oddball in this: but I don't believe more power is better.  I 
only want my signal to go as far as is needed, and not more.
I neither wish to interfere with anyone else's listening, nor do I wish to 
have my signal picked up by anyone but myself.

Thanks for the lead on this one as I will have to give it consideration.  
I also don't need stereo so this limitation is immaterial in my book.

It is an excellent unit in that it is really a pretty simple trouble free 
setup. Also, it seems to me that they offer antenna suggestions which can 
give you greater distance, though if the legal limit for transmitting in the 
States is 150 feet, then transmitting further could inspire another set of 
nasty problems that nobody wants. I haven't lived in the States for a while 
now so quite honestly I forgot about the 150 feet transmitting limitation.


For some, frequency limitation might be a problem, especially in an urban 
area. But I've been very satisfied

Re: fm transmitters revisited

2008-10-21 Thread Larry Naessens
On the Whole House Transmitter, you change the frequency by sliding small 
pins located at the top of the unit. Moving the pins in different 
combinations will cause the unit to transmit on different frequencies. I 
think the combinations are outlined in the documentation that ships with the 
transmitter, but you can also simply experiment with various combinations.

106.7 refers to one of the frequencies that can be chosen to transmit your 
audio. The transmitter transmits on a limited frequency range. If I'm not 
mistaken, the Whole House transmitter transmits between 106.7 and 107.7. If 
no frequencies in that range are available in your area, you might want to 
look for one with a greater range. Some allow you to transmit anywhere on 
the FM band.

There is another important point here which the Wholehouse site mentions 
and I have found from personal experience.
Which radio or radios you plan to use with such a transmitter is critical 
in how satisfied you may end up being.
From a transmission standpoint, think of these units not in terms of your 
local powerhouse fm stations but the small student run stations at a 
school or a fm translator.
Their signals are weak in comparison to what is else on the fm band.
The Wholehouse fm site also lists such radios that will work well.
Personally, I have always liked the small walkman style radios from 
Sangean currently the dt-400W released during the summer which is a 
revamped version of the popular dt-200 series and also replaces the 
dt-300.
What is nice about these Sangeans is that they not only have decent 
sensitivity and selectivity for such a portable; but they can decently 
handle image rejection which can be an issue when using such a 
transmitter.
When you are reasonably close to an fm transmitter, and that's almost 
everywhere, sometimes it's signal is heard on frequencies not intended to 
be heard upon.
A radio with good image rejection properties can often null these out 
allowing your small transmitter to be best heard by you.
So check the radios you plan to use on the frequencies you plan to use to 
make certain that they will work as you expect.
And, with any fm transmitter and radio combination, it may take some 
playing around to get things to work optimally.
I speak with personal experience on this.

Re: fm transmitters revisited

2008-10-21 Thread Bruce Toews
If you want to receive your signal on 106.7, then the transmitter must
also transmit on 106.7. The idea is to get your transmitter to transmit
on a frequency where there isn't already a station. In Winnipeg, with
25+ FM signals, this is tricky.

 106.7 is at the far right of the fm band.
 The highest fm band frequency is 107.9 here in North America.

106.7 refers to one of the frequencies that can be chosen to transmit your 
audio. The transmitter transmits on a limited frequency range. If I'm not 
mistaken, the Whole House transmitter transmits between 106.7 and 107.7. If 
no frequencies in that range are available in your area, you might want to 
look for one with a greater range. Some allow you to transmit anywhere on 
the FM band.

 Don, that would depend on the strength of the signal that you are trying 
 to
 overide. My transmitter is set at 106.7, with the nearest strong signal
 being at 107.1. There is a weak signal at 106.5, but I don't think it
 impacts the transmitter in any way.

 The transmitter does cover my entire house and yard, but if you live in an
 urban area, you might find some coverage reduction. Unfortunately, due to 
 my
 lack of experience outside my own area, I can't speak with authority.

 A suggestion though... I would email the company with your question. I 
 have
 found them to be quite responsive. Also, they may have a provision for
 returns if you can't find a workable frequency. Again, I would ask in
 advance and see what they have to say.Larry

Re: fm transmitters revisited

2008-10-21 Thread Mike Pietruk
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 would be far beyond their home and yard areas 
given traditional lot sizes.

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.
Otherwise, you won't be listening to it.

Re: fm transmitters revisited

2008-10-21 Thread Mike Pietruk
It's tricky in a lot of places; and this isn't necessarily limited to 
urban areas.
We are in a very rural area; but the problem here is that I am within a 
mile of a transmitter site that houses 2 fm (including a 50kw) station 
plus a fm translator and a 1kw AMer.The problem comes to play as images of 
the main signals end up on otherwise vacant frequencies.
Eventually, I figured it out but it takes some patience and trial and 
error. 
For someone that may not have that patience and ability to work this kind 
of thing out, they will be disappointed.
Folks, keep in mind that different radios have different receiving 
properties.  
Some handle images better than others.
Some have greater selectivity or sensitivity than others.
Learn your radios, as well as your transmitters as well as your ff dial.  
After a while, you will figure out things.  I've done it, in the last 
year, in 3 different vacation homes though, in 2 instances, I was 
initially frustrated.

On the Whole House Transmitter, you change the frequency by sliding small 
pins located at the top of the unit. Moving the pins in different 
combinations will cause the unit to transmit on different frequencies. I 
think the combinations are outlined in the documentation that ships with 
the transmitter, but you can also simply experiment with various 
combinations.

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
various distance levels.
At 300 ft, a faint signal might be the best to expect.

I have one and it's actually a nice unit.  I wishit was stereo but that 
isn't a major drawback.
The thing I like about it is that it's relatively easy to set, you can 
adjust the power, and it has pretty good sound as well.
It also comes with a base that the unit sits in which keeps it from sliding

The V6000 looks very interesting!  Not only is it reasonably priced at
$100, but it offers double flexibility in not only allowing one to select
frequencies but also in power output as well as powering the unit.
I may be an oddball in this: but I don't believe more power is better.  I
only want my signal to go as far as is needed, and not more.
I neither wish to interfere with anyone else's listening, nor do I wish to
have my signal picked up by anyone but myself.

Thanks for the lead on this one as I will have to give it consideration.
I also don't need stereo so this limitation is immaterial in my book.

Re: fm transmitters revisited

2008-10-20 Thread Dave McLean

If it doesn't have to be stereo try the v6000 transmitter at:
www.mobileblackbox.com

The Wholehouse fm transmitter is ok also for the price.

Just about all the units available for less than $100 are toys and complete 
garbage imho.

I'm looking for suggestions on what would be the best one to buy. I have 
onethat was given to me but its range is very short. I'm only going to 
need a range of 300ft or so.

Re: fm transmitters revisited

2008-10-20 Thread Larry Naessens
Don, that would depend on the strength of the signal that you are trying to 
overide. My transmitter is set at 106.7, with the nearest strong signal 
being at 107.1. There is a weak signal at 106.5, but I don't think it 
impacts the transmitter in any way.


The transmitter does cover my entire house and yard, but if you live in an 
urban area, you might find some coverage reduction. Unfortunately, due to my 
lack of experience outside my own area, I can't speak with authority.


A suggestion though... I would email the company with your question. I have 
found them to be quite responsive. Also, they may have a provision for 
returns if you can't find a workable frequency. Again, I would ask in 
advance and see what they have to say.Larry

Larry, Regarding the whole house FM transmitter, I have
heard that it is great; however, I am reluctant to buy it
because it's frequency coverage is limited from 106.7 to
107.9 megs.  My question is this; how far can you hear this
transmitter if there is a near by broadcaster whose
frequency is .2 megs away from that of the whole house
transmitter?

Doc, take a look at the Whole House FM transmitter. It will
cover the range
that you need, can be run using AC power or USB and comes
with everything
you need to connect to a stereo or a PC. I use mine every
day.
