Hi Guys
I have this transmitter www.ebay.com/itm/12V-DIY-kit-Digital-LED-Radio-Station-7W-PLL-Stereo-FM-Transmitter-76M-108MHz/111398890614?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D23490%26meid%3D31475c03be854e1ab25a51f4ec7abe71%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D10073%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D271437261687&rt=nc

I was wondering if this aerial would work www.laser-antenna.com/product.php?product_id=119

Is this a serious post?
It says right in the specs that it is designed for "Frequency: 890-960MHz, 1710-1820MHz", not broadcast FM which is 88-108MHz.

Sorry I put the wrong link up

lol yeah that should work GREAT.
BTW the smoke that comes out of the transmitter means it is working good.

Oh Ok the transmitter says it can reach 8 km range, I hope I can get this is it is on a big hill which is100 metres up from the listeners rx.

With all do respect you need to find an antenna that will work in the frequency range of broadcast FM which is from 88MHz to 108MHz, and it will have to be tunable within that range.
I don't know how much simpler I can word this for you to understand.
Moving this post to Beginners Area...

How can u make one then

Look online for dipole antenna designs, use an online calculator to find the length you need for each element and construct one out of basic hardware store stuff.
Dipoles are the easiest antennas you can design and will perform great for broadcast FM.
