The AMT5000 transmitter is such a wonderful experience.
After hours when rolled up for the day I set the power level down to 34 mW so there is no liklihood anyone will complain. Indoor reception is perfect.
In the daytime when out on the campus trimming shrubbery and mowing grass the AMT5000 set at 100 mW provides a solid signal to the Sangeon U1 yard radio.
But every once in awhile when the daykight is dim the corner where the AMT5000 is located gets dark and the power control is hard to see. I fear it might accidentally get set high, as high as 360 mW.
When that happens I usually don't discover the problem for an entire week, and when I do, of course, I am appropriately filled with guilt and plan to turn that power down as soon as possible.
With my schedule it's never easy to know when I'll have the free time and appropriate lighting to re-set the RF power.
Of course there is an ultimate moment when the power gets lowered to where it belongs.
May the AMT5000 be declared consecrated as holy.
I bet wen you accidentally had it up to 360 mW you could have gone over 3 miles easily! I wonder how it sounded in town?
A few years ago when the new AMT5000 first went on the air I posted a pile of reports about results from a less than perfect antenna. It was amazing.
Since then other astounding distance reports have been mentioned.
To this day no one has compared the AMT5000 to other top level transmitters, and when they finally get around to it, I predict the AMT5000 will win the game.
