Brandon.n.h Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Hello! I'm having problems setting up the Whole House Transmitter. I've searched my best broadcasting station, but the audio sounds like it's coming out of $2 pair of ear phones when plugged to my pc. I've also tried my iPhone and the audio sounds great, but has a little fuzz. Any suggestions? Is zara radio free and would that help improve pc audio? How can I change the antenna to the longer one that was included?thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
columbus27 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Try plugging it into the front, and cutting down the gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubado Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I've heard moving it away from the computer can help and a better power supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Boyd Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 The way I made mine work last year was to put the "not legal for the USA" antenna on it. I could get about 50-75 yards with it. I also found that if you turn the volume down on the pc and adjust the WHT volume for your sound. Also, there is supposed to be a switch under a label somewhere that if you flip it, you get a little better reception.Without the extra length on the antenna, I took my WHT and Laptop outside inside my truck, started a sequence and had nothing but static at about 2 feet from the truck antenna. That was unacceptable. This year I bought a Ramsey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Been around this forum for over 2 years and can't recall anyone stating they were really happy with the WHT. Most will tell you your title says it all . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon.n.h Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 Yes and I regret my purchase, though I thought at first it would be good being that lor sells it. I have no idea of how to change the antenna though and at least would like to do that until next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy_Connor Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 My suggestion is to send it back and get you one from www.dagcoelectronics.com . I started out with the WHT and even after modifying the unit and adding a booster and outside antenna, I never could get the results I needed. The unit below is the way to go. I now get close to a mile with mine. I could not be more pleased with the transmitter.VIEW LARGER IMAGE 500 mW RangeStar Wireless Music Long Range FM Transmitter Starting at: $129.95 $99.95 Save: 23% off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
testraub Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 The power boost switch is under the white QC sticker in the battery compartment of the WHT 2.0.Tom Straub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frozentundra52 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Brandon I have mine set at the 100mw setting and still goes about 2.5 blocks with the rubber antenna. So I'm gonna move it to the basement to see if it will help knock down the range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ufmatt00 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I purchased the same unit earlier this year and it appears to perform very good from my initial tests. The sticker on mine says it came from www.elecsky.com - I think I paid about $50 + $25 shipping for it on ebay. Just search for CZH-05B and you will find it sold on many websites for about the same price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon.n.h Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Do I need to buy an antenna for it? And if I am unable to buy this year how can I change the antenna on my current transmitter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
