That device is illegal. 200 mW goes a lot further than 450 feet.

Dave - Both UL and CE Certified.

-wink-wink- The 200mW might be the Total Operating
Power of the Unit and not just the Output Power.

One flaw so far is that it is only 'mono-phonic' and
not Stereo.

However the "Whole House" Gold FM Transmitter is
"Stereo" -but- it only has a simple short Wire "Whip"
Antenna. which really limits it range.

Someone should design a small FM Transmitter that
uses (can take) a standard FM Folded Dipole Antenna
http://www.gnnradio.org/fmdipole.jpg
made from 300 Ohm Twin-Lead for the broadcast Antenna :
Set it up Vertical {Omni} or Horizontal for E2W or N2S
coverage on your property.

Also it is not stereo. However it can transmit on any frequency from 88.1
to 107.9.

I use the "Whole House FM Transmitter". Stereo, great sound and I get
about 1/4 mile range using just the supplied 4 foot antenna on 107.9.
However it is limited to 7 frequencies (106.7, 106.9, 107.1, 107.3, 107.5,
107.7, 107.9).

Both are roughly the same price, with the "Whole House" usually a little bit
less. It comes down to what frequency you have clear and whether or not
you can live without stereo.

The antenna on the Whole House Gold is large. It looks to be about 48"

BTW: Part 15 requires that the antenna cannot be easily modified.

This is most likely the case, and a lot of that 200mW is probably wasted in
heat in the voltage regulator circuit.

BTW.. if you do the math, Part 15 allows approximately 10uW on FM... not
much, and certainly nothing like the 100mW that many seem to think it legal.
Clue: From a spot above average terrain, 100mW on FM can be heard many miles
away. (not well in all cases, but I guarantee, it can be heard, even in
stereo.. )

Tell that to the people that just tie on extra wire to the end of the whip
antennas.. :)

A Vertical Slinky Jr. that was extended from Ceil-to-Floor
with the short little Transmitter Wire coming Horizontal to
it and and attached at 32" from the Floor seemed to work
the best. ~ RHF
