Setting up a whole house Fm Transmitter

[blazin4x4420]

Hello

Where can I buy this FM transmitter and how much is it? How far will it transmit? Thanks

oneguycoding: That used to be true but the company just came out with a newer version where you no longer use dip switches to change frequencies and can now transmit on any station 88.1 thru 107.9

I hear that these have an extremely limited range of available frequencies between 106 and 107 FM, or something like that. And the real horror story is that you have to use dip switches to set the frequency. IF that's true, this is a non-starter. In this day and age there's no reason that one couldn't get power and use the USB as an audio out. As this technology has been engineered this product seems pretty lame.

Let's see some tests of the signal strength from around the house

You can get these transmitters under the Linex name for less than half the price.

[TSSRADIO]

From what I can tell, those only run on batteries.  These have a power jack and include a cigarette lighter adapter, a usb adapter and a AC wall power plug so you can use this continuously. We'll test the Linex one out to see how it stands up to this one.

Make sure you get Linex model TFM01, the TFM02 USB powered version is useless with a poor range and a whistling on the audio. I got mine from a firrn called Techfocus.

Did Whole House ever seettle with the FCC for selling non-certified FM transmitters? I know a guy who got busted as it was interfering with a local FM station and going out too far. Is it some imported junk or what?

[TSSRADIO]

Don't know much about that. So far nearly all of the feedback from our customers has been positive for this product. The only common issue we've seen is you may experience decreased range and/or increased static in large cities with several competing FM stations.

can you put a microphone in that whole house transmitter thing and just do a talk show please tell me before i buy one

[TSSRADIO]

Good question. These typically are used with iPods, Sirius XM receivers, or other things that have their own power supply. So my guess is you may need a powered mic. I don't know the tolerance of audio levels for this transmitter so you may also experience some sound distortion. We'd love for you to check them out. Worst case scenario we'll take it back and give full refund. If you post whether or not it works, let us know & we'd be happy to give you a discount if you decide to keep it.
