Thanks. I have not done any PCB soldering since High School Electronics
Class some 32 years ago... but likely still have the stuff I need in my
Dad's workshop. Can't say I'd be comfortable doing it now, though, even with
having built many computers it's not the same skillset.

Built ones seem to be going for 50 to 100 beans US over kit price, which
seems a little pricey for what I want to do (get a signal from here to the
barn and such). I've not done anything with HAM or other radio in the same
span, but maybe I need to get the greymatter flowing on who some of the 1st
and 2nd class guys were in the area and see if they have any leads on one
with a locked frequency used.


Thanks again.

Ralph,
This place has a few kits that might be of interest.

Hello.

I am aware this may not be the most correct group for this question, but
there are often some here who may know the answer.


I would like to transmit an FM signal at, say, the 88 end of the dial at
a power just strong enough to get around an acre or three out here in the
country. I don't know what the power regulations are (and don't care too
much as there aren't many folks around) but so long as I can listen to
the signal on an FM radio nearby I'd be happy.

Is there a transmitter available for cheap such as a HAM unit of some
sort that maybe can cross over slightly or something? I know that FM
radio is in the middle of the TV band, but is there room there that is
used by some other communication that I could maybe run without an
antenna so as to not walk the signal further than right here?

Does a poorly tuned FM transmitter throw harmonics like AM does?

If you had an FM signal to get out around home, how would you do it?
