AlanD Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Another vote for the cheap E-bay Sain Sonic Unit. Mine arrived yesterday and cables ftom Mono-price arrived today. I have hooked it up to the Dell mini 9 netbook I use to run my show set both volumes set to one third. Dialed up 88.7 which seems clear here in North Phoenix and it works great. About 2 and a half blocks before static gets bad. Does not bother stations at 88.3 or 89.1 If I turn stereo in car abouve 85% and can pick up a very faint power supply hum. Just couldn.t be much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Mine does that to. I just unplug it and try it again. Tune mine to 106.5 in my area.I figured out that after the power adjust screen you hit the power button once more to set the low limit frequency once more to hit the high limit frequency. We have had ours in use four nights and it works great. On high power it makes it about a block and a half, but is clear as can be to the road 200' away. For $60 delivered to our front door it can't be beat IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhyph Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Another satisfied owner here as well. Bought my CZH-05B eBay a few months ago from here as I wanted to deal with a "US Seller": http://r.ebay.com/XwDGxs Had it in 2 days after ordering.

larrym20 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I just had to order a replacement for the CZH model. It just stopped working Wednesday night as I was trying to go live. It worked earlier in the day during testing but wouldn't power up later. It did work really well for Halloween. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ Hvasta Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Alan, I suggest going with 99.1.. its far enough away from The Peak (98.7) and KEZ (99.9). Most of us in the Valley are using 99.1.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ Hvasta Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Larry, did you check to power transformer to see if you are getting the 1.21 jiggawatts out of it to power the transmitter.. ok, it isnt really 1.21 jiggawatts, it's 9vdc (I think).. use a volt meter to see if its working. Also, I'm pretty sure there's a fuse inside the case.. open it up (uh, there's really no warranty) and check it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrym20 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I opened it up and didn't really see anything I was familiar with. Ordered another one, plugged it in last night and will be sending the defective one back. Now I'll have a backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanD Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Thanks TJ I put things together Saturday. I am using 99.1 It's only a simple 16 channel show running the whole thing off a Dell 9 inch netbook. I have seen several displays last year from the AZ Republic list. I'm making either making a frequency sign or buying one this afternoon or tomorrow morning. Right now I'm just looking thru the free 16 channel sequences online and tweaking them. Thanks again and Take Care,,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TprSteve Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Well, I've read thru this entire post (I didn't fall asleep, but my head hurts!!) and once again i'm a day late and a dollar short (or maybe $124 short!!). I orderd my 1st LOR controller AND the Wholehouse FM transmitter on Saturday! UPS says its on its way and will be delivered Dec 5th. AFTER reading this topic I mentioned to my wife that all the veterans on here advised against buying that particular transmitter!!! That was a BAD idea!! NOW I'm in the doghouse and I havent even gotten it yet!!! Sooo in the expert opinions of all those who have "been there done that," do I send it back before I even open it up or do I see just how "bad" it is and then write a review on how I was a putz and didn't heed the advice of those who know better (and beg my wife to let me sleep back in the comfort of our Tempurpedic mattress!)?? BTW - I can't wait to start playing with the LOR controller!!! Though I'm guessing I'm gonna wish I bought another unit!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TprSteve Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Wow! That was quick! Thanx for the response! Now I just gotta figure the PM thing out!!

hllyaudio Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I think this item in ebay is not good transmitter, if you need this one, I can offer you free one,You can only pay for the EMS Express shipping cost ($20) I can ship you free transmitter like this, But I need tell you that this kind of cheap transmitter is low quality and maybe do not after one week or one month, who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
