Locate the "device" in the attic? And, feed audio though a longer feedline?

| Hi, Dave -
||
|| According to FCC Part 15 regulations at
||
|| http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/w...7cfr15_04.html ...
||
|| you are not allowed to modify your equipment. Specifically...
||
|| "Sec. 15.203 Antenna requirement.
||
|| An intentional radiator shall be designed to ensure that no antenna
|| other than that furnished by the responsible party shall be used with
|| the device. The use of a permanently attached antenna or of an antenna
|| that uses a unique coupling to the intentional radiator shall be
|| considered sufficient to comply with the provisions of this section."
||
|| Also...
||
|| "Sec. 15.239 Operation in the band 88-108 MHz.
||
|| (a) Emissions from the intentional radiator shall be confined within
|| a band 200 kHz wide centered on the operating frequency. The 200 kHz
|| band shall lie wholly within the frequency range of 88-108 MHz.
|| (b) The field strength of any emissions within the permitted 200 kHz
|| band shall not exceed 250 microvolts/meter at 3 meters."
||
|| So, if you add an amplifier, you will exceed the maximum field strength
| (by
|| a bunch).
||
|| Sorry to bring bad news.
||
|| Good luck.
