what is 1750 meter transmiter? could iuse that to broadcast on the fm/am band?? how much power does it has? what kind of antena is allowed to use?
1750 meters is the long wave band from 160 - 190 kHz, Rule 15.217, with 1-Watt and a 50-foot antenna.
We were in the process of designing a transmitter for that range, when everything else happened and we never finished.
The AM88 from North Country Radio does 1750 meters.
what do you mean by this ? We were in the process of designing a transmitter for that range, when everything else happened and we never finished
and is there away i bould broadcast on fm with that program?
Luis Rosado, 1750 meters is a band of radio frequencies down below the AM band in the U.S., and can be modulated a number of ways, including AM or FM, but that is probably confusing, since I think you are talking about broadcasting in the FM band, which I think is the 2-meter band.
The transmitter we were going to build here on this forum is a long wave 1750 meter type transmitter, and the project will continue in the future. There are several members here who contribute engineering design so we can draw our schematic diagram, buy and build all the parts, and finally test the transmitter.
But that's not what you want, I don't think.
To understand what you need, tell more about what you would like to do?
For example, do you want to broadcast to FM radios?
What kind of programming do you want to send?
To understand what you need, tell more about what you would like to do? broadcast on fm
For example, do you want to broadcast to FM radios? yes
What kind of programming do you want to send? urban music and also salsa,talk shows etc
Thank you, luisrosado1, your new station will sound good.
There are legal FM transmitters which will broadcast to FM radios.
The Decade Transmitter is a favorite of people who post on this forum:
The FCC rule for FM in the U.S. is 15.239.
I believe that Decade imports this transmitter from... you guessed it. No mention of pre-emphasis. So I am guessing it is 50 usec.
Good info sir. I happen to broadcast on this frequency with a 50 foot longwire and tuner. However I do not use a transmitter purposely built for this frequency I have a transverter which was given to me by a ham operator which converts my output down low to 1750 metre
Carl: Please wake up. You are sleeping again. The 2 meter band is allocated to the Amateur Radio Service. Maybe you meant 3meters? Now go back to sleep.
A meter here a meter there,
Give or take a meter.
I have one working VU meter left in
my collection. I broke all the othe ones.
And to KRNI - if you are able to come
back and tell us more - that would be great!

Isn't 1750 meters the band where the antennas were generally buried?
I recall having an intrest in such a system way back a few decades ago, but then life came along and that interest sort of shifted over to the back burner... not completely forgotten, but just not a recallable thought until the topic is brought up.
Carl, if you have a link to the 1750 meter blog or posting, I wouldn't mind reading. It might even spark the ambition for me to construct such a set.
EDIT: Never mind... I found one of them and it appears that Carl and other members have done quite a bit of work with this project. Schematics are drawn out at Carl's site... Here's the forum entry that I found: http://www.part15.us/forum/part15-forums/general-discussion/1750-meter-transmitters
The Long Wave Club Of America is a great
place to start.
I can say from personal experience that
longwave isn't easy, but there are great
rewards there.
There is also a rich history of Part 15
experiementation in that part of the
spectrum.
