Being legally Blind and in need of a fully assembled AM Transmitter that will get out 2 miles in each direction and keeping a low profile meaning that I can't bury 30 Ft ground radials is a huge headache to try and find.
I looked at just running an amplifier at the back of the Talking House 5.0 (For Now because it doesn't have the best audio) is a real pain because I have to get an attenuator that is variable between 30db to 0db or 99db to 0. The amp would be $90 and then there is the price of the adapters to try and convert SMA to PL-239 which isn't too bad however what I don't like about the amp is that you have two power terminals meaning that the power supply does screw in to the amp instead of plug in. I live in a small apartment and things just have to be rock solid.
I'd like to be able to use a simple CB antenna like a ground plane or firestick. I'd use the ATU to tune up to the antenna which I'd need probably 3-6 watts capable. All because I have to keep things simple and in a low profile.
Is there an easy setup where I can get going on 1710Khz and get out 2 miles? This could be a Procaster, Aspisys, any assembled transmitter that has these character features.
Please tell me your height above ground, type of transmitter all info so I can get something going into a 3 meter antenna (I don't care about breaking the rules I want RANGE)!! I'd rather not have a 100 Ft antenna cuz of the fact that I don't own the property and 10-15 feet for an antenna may be the most the landlord will allow.
