Police in northeast China busted over 300 illegal radio stations for hawking fake medicines, promoting scams or threatening aviation safety through their transmissions, state media reported.
The authorities in Shenyang in Liaoning province uncovered 66 underground radio stations from January to April, adding to the 225 busted last year, the state-run news agency Xinhua reported.
“It was like harvesting garlic chives. A new batch would always spring up soon after you cut the previous batch,” Liu Weidong, director of Shenyang’s wireless regulator, was quoted as saying.
Total posts : 45366Glad to see these punks get busted for selling illegal medicine and also causing interference to planes. This is not the type of operation that The New Radio Revolution wants nor do we tolerate those who know they are or may be causing interference to communications and those risking hundreds of lives.
I’d like to know how much power these folks were running and just what transmitter they ran that caused such horrendous harmonics and spurs to the spectrum?
Any more information gathered about this would be great.

Total posts : 45366Lets see… it was in china.. Soooo probably a healthy variety of HLLY, CZERF, and FMUser transmitters. Which are all just rebadged HLLY units anyway.
Total posts : 45366One of the xmitters seized was 2,000 watts.
Total posts : 45366Okay 2000 Watts that tells me a lot. That is a whole lot different then the common czerf or hlly transmitters. Yes I know some of the CCH variety of transmitters are not very clean however if you have Elite access to the New Radio Revolution’s website you will see where I have conducted a test on A CZERF CZE-T200 and I’ll give you a little preview on the 250 foot setting which was the lowest power setting the harmonics was far less then the whole house FM transmitter 3.0. So certification does not always mean cleanliness when it comes to these FM transmitters. I wanted to put the test out there in the open but felt a little threatened by it so I had to put it in the elite section. If you don’t already have Elite access please get with me and I’ll look at it on a case-by-case basis but I do think that you people need to look at the test report because I did some extensive testing on that transmitter. I don’t think all CZERF transmitters are good or bad as I have shown with the sainsonic variant which in my opinion is one that isn’t so good.
The Clone transmitter such as sainsonic and a few others do change the original design a little bit to make them cheaper. This is where the problem starts. The original transmitter that are good that are coming from China are the czerf variance not CZH. The CZH variance seem to be the ones that are bad. Even reading radio Brandis website and talking to a few folks who have bought both of them seem to have more trouble with the CZH variant. Also I can tell you that the czerf transmitter is the exact same as the whole house FM 3.0. When you turn on any czerf transmitter you should hear a fart sound on your FM frequency. If you don’t hear the fart sound it is not the true variant of the transmitter I found out that they done that purposely so that you know which one is the real deal so when you turn it on and it does not fart then it’s not the real transmitter. the fart sound starts off as a high-pitch and slows down and last for about 10 seconds. Again if you don’t hear that sound you don’t have the real transmitter you have a clone. Even the decade transmitter originally came from China but was modified in the United States. If you look inside a decade CM10 you will see that it is the exact same circuit board with only a few differences. 1 being the telescoping antenna instead of the connector. I assure you when you look at a decade transmitter you are looking at a CZERF transmitter in Disguise nothing more nothing less and you’re paying triple or quadruple the price. both transmitters are 500 milligrams meters. The only difference is is that they put a telescoping antenna on the decade CM10. You could probably do the same thing with AC czerf and get the same exact field strength. Also do we know that Tim tested that transmitter and it was way over the legal limit which is probably the same thing as a 500 milliwatt transmitter connected to a telescoping antenna that sounds a bit more like it.
I’m not trying to defend China but I also want everyone to know that just because one particular model of transmitter was bad does not mean the whole batch is bad. I could probably pick on transmitters like a c crane where the older ones were bad that doesn’t mean that every C. Crane transmitter is junk. But if you look at some of the reviews on the older versions people complained about that connection issue even Carl Blair complained about that. But does it mean that every c-crane transmitter is junk?
I really encourage you all to Read reviews of people who have previously owned a particular transmitter before you purchase it. Read things such as overheating issues harmonics and other issues that may be a problem. Then your decision is an informative one. I understand that these czerf transmitters are not certified however I’m bringing a point up that if you run the T200 on low power you get 250 feet on a digital car radio. So it’s probably close if not dead on the legal limit. Also if we get87.7 and 87.9 megahertz which The New Radio Revolution is working so very hard to get the czerf T 200 will go there. We are working diligently to get the one Watt that we have been striving to get IF I can get some commercial FM broadcasters in our group we have a greater chance of getting what we want. so please when you report a transmitter please report the exact make so please when you report a transmitter please report the exact make and model and what the issue was.

Total posts : 45366Don’t think that the busts were about the transmitting of radio stations but what they were doing on the air that got them busted.
FMUSER makes all these transmitters and they are branded depending on who they’re being sold by and they’re in China. I think the laws are more relaxed there. The CZH-05B at 1/2 watt and the 1 watt one the most popular.
I think I saw in the article a mention of 2000 watts which even for China is way too much.
Total posts : 45366Am I correct to assume that most – if not ALL -of these Chinese transmitters are set up for 50 microsecond pre-emphasis???
Some mfgr. ads list “pre-emphasis optional 0 – 50 – 75” with no explanation as to whether this is a USER-SELECTABLE feature or it’s pre-set at the factory (either per request of the buyer or dependent on which part of the world the unit is shipped….)…
If I was going to sinkany kind of serious $$ into one of these….you can bet I’d want to be ABSOLUTELY SURE that pre-emphasis was set properly (ie., 75 us for North America)!!
Total posts : 45366All of these operate at a power level way above USA legal limits, even way above Canadian BETS-1 limits.
There are several excellent transmitters that work very well and are 75uS….Decade, Broadcastvision, wholehouse, to name a few, not sure about Ccrane.
