wallleyes 11 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 They are junk!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gmac 32 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 If you read past posts most of the guys that are happy with their Fm Transmitters either have EDM---Ramsey----Mobile Black Box Those are built the best and have the best sound.........You could have a fantastic show but if the music sounds staticey & Crappy it takes a lot away from all your hard work. Do yourself a favor and don't settle for junk just because it's cheap..........I know cuz I've been there and done that, I learned my lesson the costly way. I currently have a Ramsey FM30 and couldn't be happier with it, the sound is almost commercial quality. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hotrods 9 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 I bought the whole house fm transmitter from lor cant get any channels to work is it because i live in Chicago are the stations to strong to override or is the whole house converter to weak ? thanks for any help Dennis Laff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gmac 32 Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 You'll have to go up and down the FM band and find a frequency that is not used or is very weak them set your transmitter to that frequency and you should be good to go!! Remember with that type of unit you will only broadcast maybe 500 ft. but that might be good enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flanigan 2 Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Have used this for two seasons now with zero problems. It did need to have a 20db attenuator placed between the antenna and rf output to keep the range down to legal limits, however. http://www.dagcoelectronics.com/store/500-mw-rangestar-wireless-music-long-range-fm-transmitter-2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gmac 32 Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 i found these http://cgi.ebay.com/...50#ht_991wt_952 http://cgi.ebay.com/...#ht_3282wt_1052 The problem is these are very low end units the mobile black box is a 6000 unit and does only mono IMO thers a much better sound coming from the sterio units the other unit I think is HLLY and there bad news I read on another forum they ar not mfg to exact specs and can potentially interfere with rescue units FIRE-AMBULANCE-POLICE.........I think I stated in my other posts you GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!! I look for lower end lights etc and get a better Transmitter My 2 cents>>>>> Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gmac 32 Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 The Ramsey FM25 & 30 are basicly the same units the major difference is on the 30 you can make all your adjustmsnts & settings on the front panel, on the 25 you have to do it inside the unit ...........If you have concerns about assemblying the unit you can do like I did and have some electronics shoppe in your town put it together for you.

Techster 10 Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Have used this for two seasons now with zero problems. It did need to have a 20db attenuator placed between the antenna and rf output to keep the range down to legal limits, however. http://www.dagcoelec...m-transmitter-2 I used this Dagco transmitter I boughtoff ebay this last fall throughout thisChristmas season - no problems - knock on wood. With the small whip attached it broadcast a good 100 yards around my house, with the extendable whip antenna it broadcast a good city block, I thought about an attenuator, but didn't pursue. It has the range and didn't seem to drift. Good luck, Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RAB 48 Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) I am new to the sequenced/music broadcasting area but I just bought a Ramsey 30B and WOW. With the built in rabbit ear(s) I can easily dial in the frequency that I choose and broadcast a clear and clean FM station all the way down the block. With an antenae I amsure it will reach much farther. Taking the advice from others I wouldn't waste money on anything less than quality.

audirick 10 Posted December 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 ok looks like a lean to ramsey unit at this point and if fm 25 and 30 are basicly the same why spend the extra cash other than not haveing to open to tune ect i thaught 30 would be stronger or something. no luck for moble black box choice so what unit there that does fm stereo and how does it match up with ramsey unit? sorry guys i research and see what others say..

RAB 48 Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 The instructions for building are pretty clear. If it's your first time soldering you probably should practice first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
clark1 11 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Be careful what you wish for.....a good transmitter will mean folks sitting out in front of your house with their windows open and their stereo blarring. Neighbors two blocks away will hear TSO until they can't take it anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
