Cray Augsburg Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Darrel:I, too, ordered the Eclipse 4000. Got it last Friday. Seems like a fairly nice unit. I just haven't had the weather (man, for somebody who loves Xmas lights, I sure hate the cold) to check it out for range, clarity, etc. The other issue is finding a free frequency. I'm in my second year -- still a newbie. This'll be my first with FM broadcast. Lemme know what you think of yours when it rolls in.Cray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read more pros then con on the unit so that's a better reason in choosing to buy it as well as cost.You can locate all free channels in your area right off the Mobile Blk. Box sight, here is the link just follow the sights info from there. (http://www.radio-locator.com/)If that doesn't work out for you Cray, let me know and I will try and find some of the sights I ran across in extending your range by tuning your antenna. I find myself spending many hours reading post from all kinds of sights, look around and ask some of these great people out there. They have much to offer and share as I have incountered.

darrel schweissinger Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 And congrats on your second year of displays, I hope it's everything you where hoping and more. Are you still listening to Christmas music? LOL What's up with that I'm asking myself!No! this will be my first year of using LOR hardware. I got interested when visiting my sis in Az. last Thanksgiving. Went to a light show at the Ph,Az. zoo and was just inspired and amazed. Returned back home and seen some simple stuff at the local do it your selfer stores and brought a pre-programmed unit that just turned your lights on and off with music piped out an exteranal speaker.Did some web browsing and here I am a few months later with all this christmas stuff and lights galore in the basement.Just need my controllers and transmiter,have to make my mini trees, 9 to start out with. Order my LED icicles from my dealer in Lake Geneva, and it seems like it never stops from there. I love it Cray, so exciting, and the LOR software is easy to work with thus far....

George Simmons Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Unless it's been overhauled since last fall, that radio locator site is woefully out of date, so verify, verify, verify before deciding on your frequency. I believe the best thing to do is get in your vehicle AT NIGHT and drive around your block to make sure that the frequency you want to use is clear. Preferably, for the best results, you'll want the freqs on either side of your chosen one to be clear also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponddude Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I'm actually VERY impressed with the prices!A CTB-08 for only 70 bucks is a TREMENDOUS price! Plus, now the firmware can be updated. The DC-mp3 player is a great price as well.I told myself that I was only going to buy one thing from the February sale. Should I go wireless now or have some fun with CCR? Decisions, decisions!

Cray Augsburg Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Darrel:My problem is taht I read all these posts, then my brain goes into overtime and I get so excited I can hardly remember anything. Yes, I remember the station finder on the MBB site, but only since you mentioned it. :? It's hell, getting old. Thanks,Cray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cray Augsburg Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Darrel:Welcome to the addiction (it truly is!). Yes, I listen to music all the time, and Xmas tunes get the most playing time. Started out with 32 channels in 2009. Plan for 112 in 2010, tho a few more couldn't hurt, could they. Got my animation screen all layed out (with image) and channels assigned. Been doing some sequencing. Got several construction projects in mind. Gotta get more power (at least until George converts me.) It never ends, but it sure is a lot of fun.Cray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
