i just did some testing with the amt5000 at 1550 it went
1/4-1/2 mile from inside a first floor apartment of a reinforced concrete

i just did some testing with the amt5000 at 1550 it went
1/4-1/2 mile from inside a first floor apartment of a reinforced concrete
and brick building clustered with other buildings of the same type. some
directions got 1/4 of solid signal. i have it grounded to the cable tv coax
shield in the apartment and hung the 3 meter wire from the wall and tuned it
per instructions. this is a good little transmitter. it also sounds good
with just an ipod and internal transmitter processing.

i was using a grundig g5 pocket radio to test range. i can't imagine what it
would do with my asymmetrical audio processing, tuned for proper class e
operation, and back where i lived in NJ being we had a creek in our back
yard. bet i could have covered all of town there if it was over a good
ground plane buried near the creek with some good 8ft ground rods in the
ground to hit the water table. one bad ass transmitter (cost 230.00) and it
out does my 1000.00 rangemaster!!!!
