FM Transmitter - Dead!

[kevr]

My old fm transmitter has finally given up the ghost what is everyone using? I will need to get something fairly quick unfortunately.

Any suggestions?

Cheers Kev

Was your Antenna fully extended? They normally don't die?

I use a generic one off ebay 1-7 watts but people normally use the EDM Transmitters

Yep fully extended it's just a small $10 Chinese one an old wok-mate put together for me

Been having a bit of a look around anyone used one of these

I've just bought this off eBay - hopefully it turns up next week and I can give it a test run.

I bought the same one last year @Trucking_Al for some reason it would not work last year, I couldn’t pick it up on any radio regardless of the frequency set or power output. This year I pulled it out and plugged it in and it worked straight away and has been going strong. On the low setting it gets around 800 metre range with the aerial all the way up and sitting outside.

Awesome, good to know. Thanks Nuzzy, I'm still new to all this. Planning and experimenting for next Christmas.
