kelly jett Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 hey fellow insane light folks (don't get mad you know you have to be a little crazy to have this much fun with lights)i have a customer that is looking for an fm transmitter that we can run music for the lights through as well as hook up to a sound system for a holiday light parade.they found this one and i was wondering if anyone had an experience with it or if they had any other ideas.http://www.amazon.com/0-5-Fail-Safe-Long-Range-Transmitter/dp/B003FO4UHW/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_topthe price sounds good but i know with most all of the holiday toys you usually get what you pay for.i myself have a ramsey fm transmitter but it is a little more expensive then they want to spend. i've had no problems with mine but cost seems to be the main factor.in advance i want to thank everyone for any assistance they may provide.thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalfreeloaders Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Yes i bought one about two weeks ago from amazon for $56,00 and i've tested it at a shot range about 1/4 mile my son said it was clear and was even picking people taking in the room The transmitter was setting the middle of our trailer house we live about 10 mile or so out of town on flat plains and i was set to 87.9 fm we didn't test it any further then that i just had him go so far just to see if it would cover the trailer park of about 20 homes i was impressed i thought i would have to put up an outside antenna looks like i'm good to go for the price i think its a good buy and also its set to low power not high power i only need to transmit is 200 to 250 ft .jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digitalfreeloaders Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) Sorry about that mine looked a lot like the one you posted about, guess mine is the second model that you posted model CZH-05B. I thought the fs stood for fail safe, new to the transmitter thing, Looks very nice now wished I had seen that one! At least mine also has the Sleek, Sexy Smooth Black Finish.lolJim Edited October 4, 2012 by digitalfreeloaders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ Hvasta Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 eBay has the same ones for $30+ less. I got mine there three yrs ago, $35, shipped. Set it to .10watts, loooow power, dont change the antenna, and keep the computer's volume at abt 30% (absolutely no more than 50%!) and the radio "volume:" at abt 10 o'clock position. If it sound distorted, lower the computer volume a little more. If it's too high, it overdrives the final transistor, causes splatter and undesireable signals.

etherealone Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Yeah if you need to "boost" the signal, dont do it by just cranking up the output (i.e. volume knob and computer settings)...just add a ground plane antenna or some other type of mast setup...you will be amazed how "far" this sucker will boradcast...But be mindful NOT to pump out to high a signal...otherwise the gents in the black van may come a knocking....

digitalfreeloaders Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 lol Thanks for the warning guys, I ain't havin trouble transmitting actually tested it and low power was transmitting about 1/4 mile from inside the house without an antenna but appreciated the heads up, will keep my adjustments low and keep an eye out for the black vans!! If they show up I won't answer the door, I could make my wife answer the door she could act like she had no idea, or even better put an antenna at my mother in laws house next door. LOL she would love that!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
