Greetings. I am new to the group and hope that I can glean a wealth of
wisdom from the collective. I have a dilemma. I propose to operate 6 or 7 five watt FM transmitters on different frequencies. This is in another country where FM bandwidth is fairly open so it will be possible to space operating frequencies far apart. I do not need to transmit very far (300 meters maximum) and not for very long periods of time (5 minute events). The surrounding area is not heavily populated. I will be transmitting from one location and I hope to minimize interference between antennas and broadcast equipment (I am using a multiple output interface connected to a laptop). The transmitters are a very small Chinese build PLL... not the best in the West (or East). And the antennas are tuneable 1/4 wave with ground plane radials. I would like to 1). be able to connect all transmitters to the same regulated power supply (13.5V DC) and 2). use the minimum lengths of cabling due to weight considerations. I am not concerned about much loss of efficiency as the distance needed to throw is well within the capability of the transmitter strength. Does anybody have any recommendations for spacing, orientation, power considerations? And any idea approximately how many amps a 5watt transmitter might pull from the power supply? Sorry for my naivete or ignorance and thank you anyone who cares to shed light on this dilemma. yours, robb kunz |
