Greetings all,
It has been many moons since I posted, but I frequently check-in to see what the hub-bub is.
Anyhow, I have some questions and would like any input.
At one time I thought I wanted to create a community station, but since have decided I prefer house/ yardcasting to the various vintage radios I have (too many hobbies already.)
The transmitters I have to date are: Ramsey FM-10 (my primary transmitter), Ramsey AM-1 (which gives me fits and have all but given up on), a homebrew 1 MHz transmitter (my first transmitter :p), and a Tape-mitter.
I know the FM-10 is a splatter box, but up until now has worked for house/ yardcasting. I am considering an AM transmitter to be able to receive on radios sans FM.
Many will probably recommend the Talking House due to plugand playability, but I am concerned about audio quality: much of the content I transmit is Old Time Radio which can be sub-par audio to begin with (32kps -64 kps), and etc.
Others will recommend both the SSTRAN 3000 and 5000; perhaps some the Spitfire. Not having heard the TH, SSTRAN 3000/ 5000, or Spitfire it is difficult to decide.
I will say I am happy with the sound of the FM-10, I just know that it a splatter box and may not be compliant with Part 15 - I do care about compliance. I want to be able to utilize the AM radios I have with an AM transmitter.
Any help/ recommendations/ tweaks would be appreciated.
Chance
