hey long time no watch! i just bought the hlly 30 watt transmitter but haven't powered it up yet, i'm cleaning and restoring my antenna but i can't want to try it out, it's built really tough and quite heave and that means it's of good quality. maybe china has finally made something good! laugh out loud!
I had a 5w HLLY transmitter. Bought it about a year ago. Got GREAT range with it and it has a great sound too. Purchased a Comet antenna and good coax (rather than the cheap antenna and crap coax that it comes with) just in time for the Chinese piece of junk to start crapping-out. Sounds like a power-shift sound on air...or like the radio is off freq. Not sure if it's the finals or not. Can't tell...it's all Chinese to me! LOL
BTW - Never use coax while its coiled, run it back and forth along the floor so you dont overheat or blow your finals. Good to hear Alex on your transmission!
Had mine for four years. It never let me down. Yes, I used a low pass filter. But on St. Pat's day, it just would no longer power up. No St. Pat's broadcast. Now, I'm talking with Subrata on eBay, but not sure if I can afford his stuff, though it's far less expensive than the rest at for example 300 watts.
Bought one of these off ebay. got it, hooked up to a scope and immediately shipped it back. spurious signals all over the place, reaching into the aviation band. Buy a quality transmitter from BW, Tugicom or Veronica. This chinese junk will just get people busted.
It always pays off to have some fundamental knowledge about what you're doing. Lots of money and no brains are a poor combination. It will sting you, eventually.
@SmashCOBamberg what if you have a open frequency with empty stations on both sides like I picked 104.7 and 104.6 and 104.8 are empty so I will be good right? I oreded a 20 watt HLLY transmitter today and I am thinking it will be OK. What type do you have?
@republicansarecool I have a professional broadcast transmitter with 2 harmonic filters. The hlly ones don't just cause some interference to close radio stations, they also interfere with airplane communications etc. That's how I got caught 7 months ago... so better be careful using them!
@SmashCOBamberg oh wow, I did not know that, guess it is too late because I bought a HLLY 20 watt transmiter and I guess if i leave the antenna on the porch it wont bother anything, keep the range like 3 miles or somethin. Could you tell me which anttena would be good for it?
@SmashCOBamberg I will, however I already bought it and I ordered a low pass filter, willthis help? I think it will because the guy said it will keep the stuff down and be good so i dont get into trouble, the low pass filter attaches to the cable. what do you think? will this keep me safe?
@SmashCOBamberg yeah I think it will work, the guy said it will work fine but he aske if it was over 30 MHz, I do not know what that is so what is the HLLY 20 watt? I have to tell the guy so please help. I am pretty sure I will be fine because the guy said it can work for HAM radio and FM transmitter, all i need to know is is it over 30 MHz?
@republicansarecool you will NOT be, the HLLY has a very dirty output and causes spurious emissions 20 MHz or more away from the frequency you choose to operate on because the filtering is terrible. This transmitter can potentially cause interference to police, fire, ambulance, air traffic control, and other two way communications depending on the frequency. Even with external filtering you can still get a fine of $10,000 or more and or jail time because you are basically breaking the law.
@tonytonytee more like the more likely you are to get arrested and fined. This transmitter is illegal for use in the US because of its power level and questionable design. I run an FCC approved part 15 FM transmitter which has a clean output. I have read part 15 in its entirety and it can be seen on the website for the National Archives which is available to the public.
I have an HLLY 5w that went about a 3 mile radius with the factory antenna. I've since put it on a lower voltage power supply (running at 7volts instead of 12) and it's transmitting into a dummy load. As such, It's scaled back from 5w to about 200 mw and only goes a block or so to keep it legal. Te sould quality is impressive. The powr supply they shipped is a total piece of crap. I'm using a radio shack variable PS with a type L end.
Damage to transmitter or power supply is often caused by a bad antenna setup (or running with no antenna) causing a high VSWR condition. For best results you need to get a better antenna such as a Comet CFM-95SL, good coaxial cable, and mount the antenna to a mast on the roof of a building far away from any other objects such as walls, trees, etc. Range all depends on a good antenna location and the surrounding terrain. You can expect 10 miles on flat land with 30 feet antenna height.
@kimreck I ordered it without the antenna and coax cable, what antenna should I get and coaxial cable is like TV cable? can that work, or what. Please tell me what to get.
i've been broadcasting a pirate radio station for years on halloween and around the holidays, its the best way to get your own stuff over the air, just tell a lot of friends!
With it still in my upstairs and with aluminum siding, I get real clear reception for about 1/2 mile with a competing adjacent station. I would love to try this thing outside of chicago on a proper tower.
are you still using the anttena they provided you with? how about the lower frequencies. like a 88.*. im trying to start a micro station that broadcasts at that frequency around my town.
for my area I have been sticking to 107.1 and the only real wan to know how the transmitter is doing is with a VSWR meter. Now I haven't tried yet and this is counter intuitive but it yah had a sensitive inline amp meter you could tune the antennae for minimum current draw and that should represent the lowest VSWR or max power to the air!
This guy is a pirate, and the FCC, Ofcom or Comreg will not license these Chinese transmitters. They will only license BW transmitters or Veronica systems

I got a few transmitters and I have this one. It works really great. It has no hum at all.
You can chose between 1 or 20 watts.
You can also get cheapers transmitters which are HLLY imitations but be careful, pieces are weaker too.
