This AM Transmitter has been designed for use where there is limited space for a conventional long-wire aerial. It instead uses a telescopic 15 metre vertical pole and so can be retracted when not in use. This makes the transmitter portable in a way.. It operates between 1024KHz and 1620KHz in the Medium Waveband (AM Band) and is designed to be a reliable and stable unit.
Typical range has been measured as 600 metres at 1602KHz and 400 metres at 1287KHz.
Housed in an ABS waterproof box the transmitter attaches to a pole or other superstructure in the garden by bolts at either end of the housing. The use of a copper tube for this would also act as an earth connection, which is ideal for creating a better signal and as a route for lightning protection.
A spark suppressor is fitted internally for additional protection from lightning.
An indoor unit connects to your audio source plus power supply. The two are connected via a length of twin screened cable which provides power and audio to the outer unit. A suitable mains power supply is supplies together with both units, telescopic aerial and 5 metres of interconnecting cable. (extra cable can be used if you require it, up to 25 metres long) This unit can deliver up to a maximum of 12 Watts RF carrier output. The transmitter comes with a telescopic aerial which can extend to a maximum length of 5 metres. It can usually deliver 10 watts cleanly driven to 100% modulation.
