Hi everyone. I just stumbled across this site while surfing. Really cool.
I just purchased a Unikit UX100 FM PLL stereo transmitter. The ads say it will give a signal out to 600 feet. I think I’ve beaten that.
Hi everyone. I just stumbled across this site while surfing. Really cool.
I just purchased a Unikit UX100 FM PLL stereo transmitter. The ads say it will give a signal out to 600 feet. I think I’ve beaten that. And, the unit is in my basement! I know it covers several blocks in my neighborhood. I’m using a pyramid mixing board, two gemini turntables, two identical vintage technics cd players, two dual cassette decks and an omnidirectional shure microphone. The signal is processed through an Alto 2 channel compressor/limiter. I’m still tweaking the settings on that! I’ve programmed the signal to 89.9. Forgotten hits is the format. Most of my library is vinyl. Lot’s of fun! So is this site!
Cool
I don’t think I’ve seen that unit before
I can see the UX300, and the Canadian ver is 4 times the USA permitted power (1000 uV/M @ 3M) but no UX100?
Where did you find that?
Experimental broadcasting for a better tomorrow!

They assured me everything they sold in the U.S. is 25mw or under.

Just to remind everyone that the FCC part 15 rules regarding FM do not limit power, therefore the above assurance is meaningless.

Technical correction
1000 uV/m compared to 250 uV/m is four times the field strength but it is not four times the power.
Since power is proportional to voltage squared, 1000 uV/m compared to 250 uV/m would represent a power ratio of sixteen rather than the stated four.
This probably has no bearing on part 15 FM operation since as I previously posted the rules do not address power, but I thought it would be helpful to point this out.
