Nice variety.

Yes, that’s what I noted too that it can be used for part 15.221.
From what I have learned from all the time I have been on these forums leaky cable is a type of cable strung over an area that is specially made to radiate along the length, unlike shielded coax, while carrier current uses the power lines. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Some of these transmitters that say zero to so many watts isn’t gradual but by increments. It could go to zero but then go in jumps of 1 or two watts at a time to the max. Best bet to use this and be legal as per part 15 is to contact ISS and ask. Most importantly is the power continuously adjustable and how does a user know what the setting is or…[Read more]

Wow! Looked at the manual and it sure is a complex array of controls. If it can operate at 100mW it’s like rocket science(well not quite) to do it and I couldn’t tell from the complex set up how to adjust power at all. Or how you know what it is. Guess you could also just use a wire directly to the antenna connection.
Best thing is to call…[Read more]

According to this….https://www.transmittersrus.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/ISS-tr6000-15.73-transmitter.pdf

It does say designed for unlicensed part 15 use as well as part 73. So maybe there’s a way to adjust to 100mW?

Here’s a picture of this transmitter………https://www.transmittersrus.com/shop/iss-tr-6000-15-73/

Certified for Part 73 licensed service.
Is there a way of knowing what your operating power is? Seems from the picture there’s no way to tell what your actual operating power is if I am correct. Check and see if this can be used at 100mW. It may…[Read more]

Rich Powers beat me to it but you have to know if you are at or near the 100mW. Getting range that is too good is an indication that you are quite a bit over especially if you have the right ground and antenna length.

OK so I think I get it, so you need a receiver/radio that has this special feature to do two things at once, monitor a station without actually playing it, and play Bluetooth at the same time.
But I don’t think this is mandated at all with part 15 and absolutely not in Canada.
I had in the past a weather radio by Eton that you could set to monitor…[Read more]

Is there anything in the FCC part 15 rules about broadcasting alerts? Just sayin’. In Canada no mention is made in the CRTC rules on programing for BETS-1 unlicensed stations about having to broadcast alerts or emergency news. In fact all programing has to originate with you, not a rebroadcast of something else which an alert is.

Oxymoron? Huh?

This is the only compressor I have ever seen that works on separate frequency ranges and keeps each song sounding the same as far as bass treble and midrange like on the commercial stations.

EG Marshal was the BEST narrator there ever was. Also if you remember Lucille Ball before she had the I Love Lucy Show she was on radio shows and sometimes Zoomer runs some of them.

Problem is so many members register and never participate yet the member list is quite large.
Also as mentioned everything gets talked about and it’s hard to think of new things to start a thread about but I contribute as much as I can on this and MBCF.boards.net(microbroadcasters forum) but I admit I respond to posts more rather than starting my…[Read more]

In the company’s defense they sell their products to countries outside the US where rules may be less strict so the provision to increase power is there although not promoted in instructions. They can’t get it certified for 50 different countries and have it operate at the max allowed for all places. I don’t think an FM or AM transmitter is made…[Read more]

Here’s something about kits and I think Canada is similar(or maybe not)

https://emcfastpass.com/fcc-rules-kits-subassemblies/

It seems that if you get it from a  hobby book or design it yourself and not market it  that you can use it following the rules. If you make more than five of them and you market it like Sean Cuthbert for example it’s n…[Read more]

I’m with radio Joe.

A question for Artisan if he is still checking this forum

This an old thread I know…..

Where did you find the section with Industry Canada on kits and their legality to use here? If I purchase a set of parts, instructions, assemble it myself as a hobby can it legally be used here as long as it meets the rules, even though not certified?
