Total newbie here. I have the Kulp 32A-B, as well as the Si4713 FM transmitter, with 75 cm wire antenna (I used wire from a couple of leftover pigtails - it is all I had). The light show is turning out fantastic. But The FM transmission is *VERY* weak (like I can hear it in the driveway, but at the street, it is static), so I am taking the advice to use a CZE-05B (unless there is a way to boost the signal from the Si4713). The manual for the Kulp 16 shows an audio output jack...however, I am not seeing the same thing on my Kulp 32 (and can't find a manual for the Kulp 32). Am I missing something obvious?

Hello and welcome! I do not own a Kulp but took a quick look and there seems to be an option to buy a transmitter that seems to have an audio jack on it. What most people do with a Raspberry pi is to use a USB Soundblaster 3 to output to the transmitters. FPP fully supports it and it gives a nice quality sound. The beaglebones have a usb port so this should be a fine option also.
