shfr26 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Check the cables, check the freq is correct, check the volume on your computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Rise Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) On mine, the USB plug is coming loose. It works at first but then comes loose just sitting on the ground. I only have it as a back up, but since one of my linkers when out, I'm on my back up plan now. Running on the mini director and WHT.I used electrical tape to hold it tight. Thank goodness the season is over now. Edited December 30, 2012 by David Rise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolyn Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 The cables are all hooked up and nothing is muted...still no service like the beginning of the season...I am thinking I need a stronger transmitter..I had a strong signal and now you can barely hear if any. Any suggestions on a different transmitter for next year cause I don't think this one works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are much better options, one of them already listed in this thread. Edited January 1, 2013 by GaryM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfing4Dough Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 http://www.edmdesign.com/orders.htmlI like my EDM-LCD-RDS-EPSince then, they came out with EDM-LCD-CS-EP, which seems to get decent reviews amongst users here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven H Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I use two WHT at two different locations for the few years with no problems after my learning curve and my S.I.L. at a third location. If not working yet, one thing not addressed, maybe a long shot, see if your antenna is in one piece and hooked up to your WHT, An animal may have damaged it. Paperwork that should have came with all of our transmitters, EDM, WHT, etc. They are low powered for a reason, no FCC license required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryC Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 That silly whole house transmitter may be in mute push in your volume knob I hated using that thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a cheap dipole antenna from radio shack.Or - save yourself some aggravation by not having to replace it when it rusts and get yourself a j-pole antenna right from the start and enjoy broadcast-quality sound.

crackchecker Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I know of at least four (4) of the new LOR users and one (1) doing his second year in my town this year were using the WHT. Two (2) were very successful, the other three (3) where complete garbage. I don't know what the difference was but IMPO having a junky radio transmitter drives away people from not only the display it is at, but also others because they think ALL displays running like that will sound like junk.

No problem at all with sound reaches right where I need it to and I am pretty far from the road: http://s251.photobucket.com/albums/gg317/FunPix4U/Other%20stuff/Christmas%202012/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
