The CCrane version is a "full gallon" as far as the FCC is concerned.
I have one which covers my house, and 3 acre yard, with full quieting.
It is on the ground floor of a frame house, and sits on top of a metal
filing cabinet, and works equally well on top of the tuner/amp. I
have found that, as you would expect, the signal improves modestly as
you move to higher TX frequencies.

Part of my problem is that the radio in the bedroom, where I do most of
my listening, is right near the noise source. I need the source on all
night (CPAP unit). The best reception of my favorite station is 30'
away, across the house, and I may not be able to find a better spot for
the xmitter. Oh, well, I'll keep playing with this. Higher tonight. (My
rcvr is it a Crane's getting repaired, and will be back this week I'm
told. Until then I'm a bit limited, since it gets the favorite station.)

Well, I did a fair amount of moving of receiver and xmitter around the
house, with modest success. My best spot is 35' away, and that's stretching
the limit of the xmitter. However, we now havd DSL after waiting 8 years.
Our den is much closer to the bedroom, and I can use RadioReplay to catch
the station. No interference at all, and I can sent it the short 20' to the
bedroom without much difficulty at all. I say much, because it seems like
the streaming audio runs amuck, and gets distorted somewhat like a too fast
or too slow conversation--alternating. However, most of the time all is
well. I can have the station going all day.
