kiplorenzo Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Howdy, I added an antenna... but I put it in the attic. the Station I have goes a quite a but further than it has to... and that makes it less conspicuous, and easier to run a wire through the ceiling than to outside.

Max-Paul Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Do you really need an ext ant? If you are transmitting more than a block with a solid signal. Then your transmitting way to far. Dont say someone didnt warn you if the G-man comes a knocking from FCC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only been using it a week, so can't really endorse it myself just yet. Paid $85 this summer. 30-day no hassle return, 1-year on power supply, figured --- go for it... http://www.amazon.com/0-5-Fail-Safe-Long-Range-Transmitter/dp/B003FO4UHW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sax Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Amazon for purchase. Paid $50 for transmitter with rubber antenna. I don't trust eBay personally. My czh is over 3 years and still working fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaynee Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I just got CZH05B in today's mail and have tested it. I got it on Amazon for $96 and free shipping via Prime. Fortunately I had received a $100 gift card earlier this year, and so I technically didn't spend a dime for it! Have tested it in the house and in the car - it sounds GREAT. My husband is on his way home from work now (late night for him) and I asked him to turn the radio to 87.9 when he gets to the front of the neighborhood and take note of when he begins to hear Xmas music. I've got it set on Low so I'm hoping he doesn't hear it until he is 3-4 houses away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaynee Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Okay, so my daughter and I just took a drive - we can hear it 1/4 a mile down the road from our house. Basically the very front of our neighborhood. Then it becomes spotty. I've confirmed on radio-locator and FMfool that the station I chose is NOT being used by another station. So I think I'll be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were me, I'd be searching the FCC site to see if any licenses are issued for that frequency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were me, I'd be searching the FCC site to see if any licenses are issued for that frequency. Good idea. I just hopped on there and am doing a search now. It's not the best laid out website is it? I did turn to my chosen frequency on the way home and actually heard someone broadcasting Howard Stern's radio show. It was clearly pirated as the language was not censored out. But at 6 p.m. that station went silent and Howard's show was cut off mid-sentence. I've been broadcasting my Xmas music since 7 p.m. and asking friends in the neighborhood and around town to turn to the station and tell me what they hear. Someone two miles away only heard static. A friend heading towards the back of the neighborhood (about 1/4 mile back) heard it loud and clear. Okay, I did a geosearch at the FCC website, which says that there are no stations within 10 miles of my house broadcasting on my chosen station, so I should be good!
