They say the electronics cause so much interference it completely wipes it out and the engineers won’t spend the money and time to shield it as it will add to the cost of the car and no one cares enough. Only public backlash will get them to change it. Some other makes don’t leave it out.

I am not a consultant engineer in any way! But the tittle sounds nice.
The Procaster with the 104″ antenna leaves you 14″ for a ground lead, not 3″.
Interesting about what the agent said about the ground lead and the copper stake not making any difference except for lightning protection.
Just make sure that the Procaster is mounted on top of the…[Read more]

You and I and everyone knows this will never happen. The New Zealand model allows for 1 watt ERP  unlicensed but you just have to be registered with your location and frequency and no protection if someone interferes with you. You can have any antenna and location as long as you don’t exceed 1 watt radiated power from the antenna. They have from…[Read more]

The forums are dead I know. I have stated my ideas as to why but that is up for discussion.
I think it’s great you have an FCC agent as a consultant engineer! You can’t go wrong there.
Nice you are getting good range. The radio itself can be the source of the muddy sound if the band width is too narrow. Radios do this as narrowing the bandwidth…[Read more]

Can’t argue there. Is the Netherlands and Switzerland allowing the 1 watt license free?
That’s the Spitfire or the Hurricane right? The one in the UK?

I know it takes a long time to load and again I don’t know why your post gets flagged for moderation.
! approved it.
I am just moderator and I have no control over this.
I can only say sorry on behave of the forum. It will be sad to se you leave but I hear you about the forum being dead as I feel the same way.

Great advertising for the Procaster!
I wonder if Gerry at Procaster sees this? I’m sure he will be pleased.
I use this transmitter also and it is great.
As for this site and others I can only assume as you….everything rolls along fine, everything has been talked about, no one including myself can think of a new topic.

Had to delete a post that was a senseless array of letters that didn’t say anything.

This must be an old post I don’t remember posting. But to Fred, can you explain what you just posted here before I delete it?

Cool Artisan! I want to run episodes of suspense theater every night at 10PM with 2 half hour episodes till 11pm but still trying to find out how to get Play It Live to do it all automated at that time a and pick two at random from that group and go back to regular “programing” after the two play.

Anyways right now at 2:37 PM April 29 “We Belong…[Read more]

I’ll go again…thought there’d be more….

Yes there is always a way!
As for the interesting story of Ken Cartwright he had to be aware of part 15-219.
I feel for him though and although there is no field strength if you have a signal that is extraordinary it leads them to look closer to see what else they can find.

I wonder myself, if the whole point of the ferrite choke is for is lightning arrester or to stop a direct hit to the antenna and fry the transmitter, which would be installed along the ground line in between the transmitter and the ground I can’t see how this would prevent a lightning strike. A million volts or more I would think doesn’t care…[Read more]

As you know Procaster is located right here in Toronto and when I got my Procaster I just arranged to go and pick it up in person and a little while ago I purchased the other MP3 studio interface that works the same with the processing but has the addition of playing messages using USB drive but I liked it because the connector for the audio and…[Read more]

@ Timinbovey…
To use it indoors when I got mine I didn’t get the stock antenna. I just made a wire antenna with an alligator clip at one end and clipped it on to the antenna bolt. I found that different shapes with the wire affected the tuning for better and worse and got the best configuration. Also did the in the case “ground” as I showed here…[Read more]

I keep up on what happens in the US and I know of all the translators.
Strange about your Procaster. You aren’t in a house with metal siding? I posted my range I’m sure you’ve seen with mine from indoors with a wire in a basement! I also posted the little in the cabinet ground I devised here not to long ago. In the same room with the transmitter…[Read more]

I have never used this one so I can comment personally but just on being a little knowledgeable on all these transmitters as I take an interest and do some research on them and I’m aware of all that are out there, I can say that the Talking House used indoors with the wire will not be near as good as the Procaster indoors with a wire or using it…[Read more]
