Suggest a good transmitter   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #5949 of 6095 |
Hey guys,

I am wondering if you could suggest some Transmitters you have had experiences
with and links etc.

Preferably stereo and not made obsolete by any policy changes in broadcast
regulation as i hear things may be changing from 500mw to 1W and possibility of
it going to 2W.


Also any suggestions on a good technician in Wellington who can install the
antenna and also supply coax cable.


cheers,

Doug

I don't accept that. The actual reason is reception is generally week. If you are planning to cover a 1.5 to 2km radius then you may get away with stereo....
