Here is one my Christmas presents this year. It is a Ramsey FM10C FM stereo transmitter kit. It puts out about 10 mW of power, enough for about a 200 foot radius. Sound fidelity is amazing. Runs on one 9V battery.

  • That is awesome! Is the signal strong enough to excite mercury atoms in fluorescent lights, making them glow? I love the creation LOL, and good choice in tunes, too. Imagine if somebody nearby was walking with a portable radio switching stations when he/she comes across this? It would be funny to see a reaction! LOL

  • @BowlingMania14 Unfortunately the signal from this transmitter isn't strong enough to light a fluorescent lamp. My CB will do it though.

  • @bamaslamma1003 Ohhh ok. Would you do any modifications to this thing if you wanted a stronger signal? That would probably require changing electrical components inside.

  • @BowlingMania14 It has an "antenna out" jack. Maybe connect an external amplifier.

  • @bamaslamma1003 You can add an antenna to that jack and it will greatly increase distance...but the antenna needs to be "tuned" IE: sized for the frequency you'll transmit on. (somewhere i had the formula for it..no idea where LOL, but you should be able to just Google it )

    You can add an external Amp for more range, but that will violate FCC limits (personally don't think i'd risk it).

  • @XmasLightsGuy As far as tuning the antenna goes, having an SWR meter helps too. But I don't know of any that will work with such a small amount of power.

  • @bamaslamma1003 Maybe that could work. I'm not entirely sure how it's set up. I've never worked with radios before.
