After MONTHS messing with our friend at FRB, I finally bought a transmitter from China. It's 15 watts and today I gave it a good work out. I'm not using the cheap antenna that came with it but a 1/4 wave ground plane I got on eBay. Pretty soon I'm going to upgrade to a 5/8. The transmitter sounds good, has great separation and plenty of power. I can't reveal the name here, but it's $150 and comes in a nice silver case. I've been putting together this station since last winter and I've spent almost a grand. I have a DVD recorder, a DVD changer, Compressor/limiter, monitor amp, new expensive head phones and an EV RE20 microphone, plus the transmitter. As you can see, I'm VERY serious about this project becoming a professional community radio service. Or bloody shootout with the FCC blackops snipers, whatever.
Anyway- I just wanted to share- I'm FINALLY "ON THE AIR"

Congrats Terry !
Glad to hear things are going well ! Keep us posted ! Is this the transmitter that you picked up ? See below.. How does it perform ? Is it setup for 50us or 75us pre-emphasis ? I realized after I sent my original comment that your post was an old one.. lol ! Anyway, just wondering how things are going and are you still broadcasting these days ? If so, what kind of transmitter are you using and how do you like it ? What kind of power are you running with ? AM or FM ? Hope all is going well !
73... Spooky...
