Notice they failed to report the pre-emphasis? Most likely 50 usec.

Notice the dummy load in the photo. A dummy load with an antenna attached.
The CM-10 has been around for a while.
Imported from China. 199 from Decade, 49 + shipping from China. Both certified.
I have been reading these forums a while before I desided to join. I seen this about the Decade CM-10 and the SainSonix AX-05B Transmitter. It too is certified Part 15 (Probably on low power) but even though it may not be 100% as there are conflicting reports on range. Some say it went only 61 meters (Even on High Power). I use to have an FM transmitter years ago which would go 1-2 miles when I connected it to a police scanner antenna outside. I transmitted on 88.3 MhZ Stereo and at the time paid around $200 for it. There was all sorts of hype about how far it would go off the rubber duck when in all I struggled to try and reach 1/4 mile from a second floor of the house.
I'm thinking about getting the Sainsonic AX-05B now that I know there is no more harmonics than the Decade CM-10 for I am on disability and have a fixed income and can't see paying the difference if both the SainSonic and the Decade have the same circuit. If not what is the difference?
OK here is gonna be my set up for my Progressive Rock, Classic Rock station which is on the Internet http://thelegacy.shorturl.com I'm using a laptop with a program most don't know about as its new and I was the part of the team who tested it and helped the development. it's called NextKast and it has a damn good audio processor along side this radio automation program built in that compaires with Breakaway Broadcast. It has prevision for the transmitter as it has an option for FM Transmitter which sends the same audio that would go into the encoder that streams my station onto an Icecast server. I'm thinking that if I don't have the volume set too high I can have a nice station that will coer my neighborhood a few blocks (well maybe a few houses as these things are over rated for a sales gimmick). SainSonic told me they sell theirs with the 75uS pre emphasis so I pray its true and not another lie. I also looked at the Signstek CZE-T200 which has 4 power levels and the first one is 1mW and high is 200mW so for the paranoid you can run 1mW. It costs $45 but have not heard any reports about this one and this one I guarantee is 50 uS pre emphasis not 75 uS. So for a station on a budget do you really think I'll get good results on the SainSonic AX-05B? How far did it actually go (With Rubber Duck) I'm not planning on using an outside antenna or di-pole.
Sorry if I didn't spell too well I'm running my show at the same time.
