bretk Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Has anyone tried this transmitter? It seems to compare well with the EDM at a much better price.http://wlcventures.com/zencart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4&products_id=19I'd be interested in anyones opinions.

Denis Chaput Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 They use them quite a bit over there and few topics on them check it out might help you out. But for my two cents EDM is best bang for your buck.http://doityourselfchristmas.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?70-Radio-Waves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalJimH Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Hi Bret,I used the WLC transmitter for the first time last season (12/2011).It comes in the form of two populated PCB's, a connector ribbon wire, and a small collapsible antenna. No instructions come with it but the PCB's are marked for-what-goes-where. I mounted the PCB's on a simple wood frame and connected it to a power source and my PC. The transmitter/antenna is on a shelf above the PC, about 6' elevation and located in a room facing the street. Distance to street about 35 feet. I selected an unused frequency (for my area) and ran a music sequence(via PC). Using a portable radio (Walkman) I walked outside and was able to get great reception about 200+ feet from the transmitter. Later in the season and when my light show was up and running I was able to pick up the transmitter on my car radio about 400 ft away. I tuned the car radio to adjacent frequencies and did not get any bleed-over. I'm sure better range would be had with a better antenna (I just used the "test" antenna) but for my use I am quite satisfied with this unit. PM me if you need to.
