Here's a odd one.. Just received this junk email and found it curious enough to post it here.. I'm not exactly sure what it says..

FM transmitter, FM transmitter timing bell
From: Mr.Xu [EDIT Link removed.]
How do you do, sir, madam.
I come from mainland China, our company is engaged in professional production and wholesale timing bell FM transmitter. The transmitter without need to any external timing bell instrument, avoid because of external timer and transmitter system is not uniform, resulting in receiver interference. No timing bell software to be installed in the computer, avoid the computer to install software caused computer crash brought unnecessary trouble.
The transmitter using phase locked loop technique and stable emission frequency, clear sound. From time to time to play 100 tasks, each task can be more songs. The transmitter uses wireless speakers, wireless sound column, wireless suction a top horn receiver. Other intelligent broadcasting instrument can only be connected to the power amplifier machine, only the use of wire connected to the speaker and amplifier expensive.
The transmitter power two files can be adjusted, the transmission power of 6 watts, 10 watts, 15 watts of.6 watts of minimum power of 1 watts, 10 watts and 15 watts of minimum power of 5 watts. Emission frequency range: 76 MHz ~108 mhz. Audio input by line, microphone, USB input. Customizable RDS addressing. Thank you for your attention!

Sounds like a variable FM Transmitter to me ane that the Chinese person used translation software that really failed on him.
Perhaps in China there is a time limit on listening to FM which ends when the bell sounds.
If that's not it, I don't know what is.
It's good for anyone who wants to test their reading skill... if it never quite makes sense, you can read.
Most notable is the fact that Mr. Xu found Rich Powers, someone who would respond to the word "transmitter".
With all those power choices this might be the transmitter the Initiative is looking for.
I think what the text is saying is that it's a transmitter that will store songs.
I have an old Landmark FCC & Industry Canada certified transmitter that will transmit the contents of a built-in music CD player. I've often wondered why modern day transmitters don't build in an SD card or USB interface to do the same thing. Perhaps this one has it (or it has built-in storage).
The Nautel VS300 transmitter at our LPFM has just that. You plug your jump drive into the USB slot of the transmitter and using the built in player, setup a playlist. It can even jump playlists on a schedule and stream audio direct off the network.
This is used primarily as a backup audio source should the main program be interrupted.
It's a smart transmitter...
I was more referring to Part 15 transmitters (although the one referenced in the original post definitely isn't Part 15).
I was simply pointing out the fact that it can be done, Part 15 or other if they want to.
Someone will probably write some code for one of those pocket computers (Raspberry, etc.) and package it with a Part 15 transmitter.
Like a device with an embeded processor, it'll be able to do all wonderous things for not too much more money.
