What gets the best distance?How much distance do you need?"Most" responsibe transmitter owners adjust their transmitter to only cover the area where their viewers watch the display from.It is considered "bad practice" (as well as possibly illegal)to use more power / distance then is necessary.That is how I adjusted my EDM.

For one block, use the lower ( 1-10 mw ) position. This info is on page 6 of the EDM manual I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Grygierczyk Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Which one of the EDM Transmitters did you buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trankin79 Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 The EDM-LCD-RDS-EP. Had the whole house transmitter 2 last year, really a lesson learned. Should have bought the EDM first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taybrynn Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Don't mess with the MPX. Depending on whether you select the 1-10 or 10-100 switch ... the baby blue dial can be used to adjust the power with either range. I believe it comes preset to 10mw, which is the legal limit for retail sold Tx units. Its probably enough for most. If you want more range, set to 10-100 and you can dial it down as needed.Final tip -- there is an EDM group on yahoo ... its a good resource and the EDM techies will respond if you have questions.
