I have a Rangestar FS CZH 05B FM transmitter. I have used the RCA inputs on the back side for several years with no problems. In an attempt to help a local church broadcast services to parishioners in the parking lot I tried to use the mic input and audio input on the front side of the box. I can not get them to work On the screen just to the right of the frequency numbers I have the word mute. As per the manual that came with it I have gone through the power on setup several time and can not get rid of that. I imagine that mute is what is not allowing me to use the front ports. Searched the forums with no luck. Tried contacting where I purchased it and apparently they are no longer in business. I tried searching the internet and only came up with ads for purchasing one. Any suggestions?

We will have a meet and greet at 11, lunch at noon and then start the Mini at 1 pm. So far only lunch meat and buns so it is your choice. Looking forward to seeing you Saturday.

Good looking display.

Great looking display

Nice looking display.

I lean mine against a wall and cover with an old blanket or other material and then just lean others up against them. I have very little breakage with bulbs.

I usually run my display until the weekend after New Years.

I store mine standing up. I lean them against a wall so the the supports on the back side are touching the wall. I then cover with old towels and sheets. I then lean others against those. They are pretty much standing straight up.

Merry Christmas
