I just bought an MW FM transmitter that is battery powered. It allows one to
hook up the output of, say, a CD player to the headphone output, and transmit the signal to select FM bands. This is fine for the most part, but I'm wondering if there are units that have wall warts for power? Wayne T. Watson (Watson Adventures, Prop., Nevada City, CA) (121.015 Deg. W, 39.262 Deg.

They used to have a unit that ran on battery or a wall wart. tom K0TAR |

Remove the batteries, of course. -- 73, Cecil http://www.w5dxp.com |

Ramsey has FM kits that are easy to build and, after I did three of them,
reliable. I think I did the FM-10C. http://www.ramseyelectronics.com/hk/....asp?page=amfm In San Diego, Gateway Electronics sells them off the shelf. If you have a medium to large elex store nearby, inquire. 73 "W. Watson" wrote in message ink.net... I just bought an MW FM transmitter that is battery powered.

I had checked with Ramsey and thought they were over priced, and my days of building kits have long passed. Gateway sells the kits or has some other FM xmitter? Wayne T.

Radio Shack has one, but it's low powered, if I remember it. The Ramsey went about 100 feet off a legal wire (30 inches, I think) and the RS only about 25 feet. I am in a metropolitan area, which is a disadvantage to these little units -- hard as heck to find a clear spot! Then too, receiver AFC pulls off to something else if you suffer a fade. |
