THINGS YOU CAN DO WITH A PART 15 AM TRANSMITTER
* Shopping Districts - Tell everybody about how good your mall is, or that downtown is still alive. Don't forget to buy a digital recorder that repeats the message.
* Campground Radio - Fun for the campers!
* RV Parks - Tell your visitors about the area, sell some ads!
* Resort Areas - An ideal application for low-power radio. Everyone is tightly packed into one spot and with readily-available vacation cash. The Rangemaster's broadcast serves as an exciting shopping/dining guide. Just put out brochures, and start selling advertising.
* Historic Sites - In addition to facts, tell everyone about visiting hours, the gift shop, and other things to do in the area.
* Ferry Parking Areas - On the way over to Ocracoke, Bald Head Island, or whatever other place over the water, people sit and wait for the boat - YOU have a CAPTIVE audience. They are just sitting there in their cars. Put up a sign, and tell them what's happening at their destination!
* Event Parking (Fairs, Sports, Concerts) - Broadcast rules, regulations, advertising, etc.
* In-Venue Play-by-Play Broadcast - Modern radio now has an awful delay due to digital compression and new profanity-delay gear. A Rangemaster will return your station's ability to serve patrons at the ballgame.
A new part 15 AM antenna is now in use at Radio Brandy's test site in California. At 15' above ground, it without a doubt; outperformed out Rangemaster & Procaster with their stock antennas. A transmitter with a
50 ohm output is needed to feed the antenna; A transformer would be needed to adapt the
Rangemaster & Procaster
transmitters. Noise level is greatly reduced at the mile and half mark on our after market car radio; when compared to the other transmitters.
More testing will be done over the next couple of weeks; we will also raise the antenna another 10 feet, and do a second test.
Low cost & simple studio setup used by Radio Outlaw's Part 15 AM operation. We cut cost low by using common brands and models throughout our facilities whenever possible.
Almost all of our CD players are Technics SL PG 300's, our carts are mostly ITC Delta's, cassette decks are AIWA or JVC. This helps cut down on number of spare parts we must inventory. Zara Radio 1.6 is installed on all of our computers now.
