Most of them are analogue.

I'll try and dig up the link I had for the actual PCB makers.

The one I used had 3.5mm stereo unbalanced jack in on both the TX and RX. The TX
had a channel select switch with 8 to choose from.

The RX has diversity but I chomped the internal antenna and hooked up a single
grid at both ends.

DAS-100 used to be through global sources similar to the
http://www.gdbint.com.au/Product.aspx?pID=393
<http://www.gdbint.com.au/Product.aspx?pID=393>  however that one's a USB sound
device input not analogue.

I'll go hunt out the link for the maker of the insides, it's here somewhere.

Subject: [LPFM] STLs..

Hi all,

Just wondering whether anyone could please give me the laymans low-down on STLs?

Supposing I'm looking to move my Tx to a higher location that's, say, 5-12k's away as the crow flies from my current studio location.

I've heard stuff about modifing a 2.4GHz AV sender by putting a high gain Rx & TX aerial (grid or otherwise) on the respective AV units. I understand these will work over short distances, but how about over longer distances?

Would it be better to buy a purpose built unit? If so, what would be an adequate power output, where would one buy one, and roughly how much would they cost?

I notice there are some 'free' frequencies in the 2.4GHz range, but would it also be better to get a licenced one? If so, what is the process and how much?

Thanks in advance,

Herb.

Hi Herb
I believe Acres Electronics in Oamaru sell STLs. Dunno about price.

Gee, I wouldn't necessarily call satellite a cheap option either. If Tony
Dunnett is still on this list he could certainly vouch for that.

What about Freeview DTT? I saw somewhere on their website it's about $40k per
year to broadcast a regional radio station.. Would seem a lot cheaper than
satellite. It would also cover most of Auckland in one hit.

Ofcourse, your members/listeners would ahve to invest $199+ in a Freeview
terrestrial box to listen, but then again they would also be able to view TV in
true HD.

Just thinking of other options, thinking outside the square.

With regard to the commercial on 106.2, I think that's something you're gonna
have to live with. Infact, they are 500kHz away from LPFM, which is more than
enough. Or perhaps you're refering to Mai on 88.6. Hmmm sign of the times,
sorry.

Spare a though for Christchurch LPFM. They have a commercial right on both ends
of the guardband - 88.9/106.5 - go figure.

We need 24x7 updates to our users to sharing was not available. We have to look at satellite now as its cheaper than a commercial FM licensee.

Prolly is over for newcomers sorry to say Jason.

If they are boat-safety related, maybe talk to 'the flea 88.2' which broadcasts

Just a little addition on the common thinking.

FM stereo is a multiplexed signal consisting of L+R (which is mono signal) and
L-R which is modulated as a subcarrier at 38Khz. A 19Khz pilot tone is added to
sync the receiver to the transmitter but by filtering above 15Khz this is
removed from the final audio signal. In the receiver the signals are decoded by
addition and subtraction - there is no such thing as a fragile right channel.
Doing the maths shows L+R minus L-R = 2L. (you have +R and -R which cancel out).
Then for the Right signal you subtract the L-R signal (L+R minus -L-R = 2R with
the +L and -L canceling). To get a healthy stereo signal the subcarrier has to
be received and decoded well enough to produce a healthy L-R signal hence the
need for a good signal.

Argh yes the Anti-spam law

       David Cunliffe

4 September, 2007


     Anti-spam law now in force

New Zealand actively joins the global fight against spam with the
government’s new anti-spam legislation coming into effect.

Parliament passed the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007
<http://www.legislation.govt.nz/libraries/contents/om_isapi.dll?clientID=1241354\
4&infobase=pal_statutes.nfo&record=%7BA2934%7D&hitsperheading=on&softpage=DOC>
to enable the fight against New Zealand-sourced spam and as the basis
for New Zealand’s participation in international efforts to combat
unsolicited electronic messages, mainly email.

“That legislation takes effect following a six-month transition period
to allow organisations to get their email practices and database systems
in order,” said Communications Minister David Cunliffe.

“The Act alone will not solve the issue of spam. However, from today
enforcement agencies are now in a position to bring spammers to task for
their illegitimate activities.”

The Department of Internal Affairs has established a unit to enforce the
new law and is running nationwide seminars to prepare businesses for the
law change and encourage good electronic marketing practice.

“The seminars have shown there is widespread support for the new law
because the e-marketing industry as well as individuals wants spam
stopped,” Internal Affairs Minister Rick Barker said. “The unit will be
part of the global fight against spam.”

The Anti-Spam Compliance Unit will investigate complaints and act
against spammers in New Zealand who are deliberately flouting the law.
It will also promote education and awareness of spam, encourage
voluntary compliance, liaise with industry, monitor emerging
technologies and work with international agencies.

Penalties for breaching the UEM Act

range from formal warnings to infringement notices and court actions
with a maximum fine for $500,000 for an organisation and $200,000 for an
individual. A spammer could also be ordered to pay victims compensation
for loss suffered and/or damages based on profit gained from sending the
spam.

I'm on 2 subscriptions... so thats 2 of every email... I had another
email years ago (making 3 all up) that used to get the Radio Heritage stuff.
So another of my addresses must have been subscribed without my permission.
Oh well...
I just love Spam filtering on Gmail and Junk mail filtering on Thunderbird.

I still stand by what I said several years ago.
"One email should be sent out to his entire list asking for a reply if
wish to stay on the list, and delete all the non-reply email addresses
after a week."

If he wants to add new people to the mass mail outs, send them an email
asking their permission first.

cheers

Yep.  Expensive compared to NRG, but they are built very well, with options for remote monitoring and configuration via TCP.

I’ve got a BW but not by choice.  I needed more than my 1 watt NRG due to the site where my TX is now hosted is sharing an antenna with other LPFMs with filters and combiners reducing the power considerably, and need about 2.5 watts to get the 0.5 out the antenna.

Yeah right, OK, you are the expert. All is well...... BTW, I know. When it comes to how good a station sounds, that has nothing to do with stereo or mono.

I read in my 3rd subscription that I didn't sign up for with Radio Heritage,
that pulzar in chch has gone high power. Congrats to you guys! That's 3 that
have gone high power and stayed local that I know of. Probably been many
more I'm sure.

Should I sign the Radio Heritage webmaster up for a finance loan and just
let them know they've been given the gift of a loan without prior
application for their benefit? :o) I'll be the judge of what I consider my
benefit to be subscribed too for furture reference (deja vu, pretty sure
he's reading this to have used my email address, again).

BTW, what are those local commercial licenses going for?

Hi Geoff,

I suppose the reason for this is that My LPFM station is a CHR Top 40 station, taking place of say ZM / Edge etc.. LFM is the only radio station in our area catering for this market. If I'm paying someone to produce these, I want it to work with my station format as priority and if its useful to you guys also, would love for you guys to broadcast it also.

Cheers,
Ethan

I think you said a while back that most of your music for the music beat
comes off Kiwi Hit Discs?
Shouldn't LPFM be promoting material that doesn't get played on so
called "Normal" radio stations like Zm, The Edge, More Fm etc?

Just a thought about why don't you include other music eg original stuff
that gets sent to you by upcoming musicians composers etc.

Cheers
Geoff
