@richpowers - I'm assuming he means the US Government.
Talking of the C Crane transmitter, although I now have two Decade MS-100's, I'm a little curious about the C Crane, merely to compare the range. I do...
I envy you for having a boat @richpowers. All that saltwater should make a great ground plane. Heck, if that was my boat, it would have a Part 15 tran...
Talking of Part 15 stations with good coverage, a new Part 15 station recently came on the air a few miles from where I live, in the city of Alameda, ...

Regardless, if that radiating element (antenna + ground lead) is longer than 3 meters, you are not in strict compliance. To be honest, I wish we could...
Yes, that's what I was referring to in the other thread. Was rather surprised about the emission with the top cover off being over the field strength ...
Incidentally, the HB review of this transmitter has a picture of it with the top cover removed. Their unit had the same thing - sealant on the over-mo...
