BOXED
UNITS
|
|
These
packages below all include units which are in enclosures and putting transmitters
in service basically means connecting cables, setting up an antenna etc.
You do not have to assemble any electronic components etc. It is also
recommended that you read the HOW
TO START guide.

BUDGET 300mW 19" RACK MOUNTED STEREO TRANSMITTER
This is a small, but well built and reliable broadcast worthy 300mW transmitter with mains power supply, coaxial cable and antenna; everything you need to start! You will enjoy excellent audio, stereo operation, a decent amount of
output power for your property and excellent output filtering. Nicely built 19" rack with LED backlight will look good next to your audio equipment, too!
The transmitter,
CYBERMAX FM 300mW
ADVANTAGE
Good audio quality, enough power for covering a small property or a house. Includes everything, even coaxial cable and antenna. Looks good in 19" rack and with backlighted LED display.
DISADVANTAGE
Low power
RANGE
It is
never easy to predict range. Check this
to get some idea. Basically depends a lot on your antenna location.

the mains cable, which can be purchased in your country (each country
has a different mains plug and we don't carry all)
NOTE
It
is a good idea to use PC as audio source and run some kind of audio processing
software to form a cheap limiter/compressor (MLB4 or Winamp plugins, such
as rocksteady).

PC BASED
SETUP
|
|
TURNING YOUR PC INTO
A FM TRANSMITTER
PCI MAX 2004 is a computer card that can
change your PC into a fm radio station. This is the basis of this package.
Note the blue
connector for the LED display (only used in stand alone mode). Also, there
is a blue trimmer close to the antenna connector. This is where you can
set the power level, if necessary and if local laws allow it.
ADVANTAGE
This is perfect for playing music around
your house and will change the way you listen to your MP3's or other audio
(internet streaming etc) via PC. It will effectively change your PC into
a FM radio station. You will be able to play your audio files (CD, wav,
MP3, real audio etc.) from your PC through radio waves directly to your
household radio receiver in the next room, in the living room, across
your yard, in whole block of flats....or for the entire village/small
city. You can either service your living room, garden or an entire community.
It is probably the simplest way to start your radio station. Install
this card into your PC as you would any other PC card. Install software
and you're ready to broadcast!
DISADVANTAGE
A standalone
transmitter usually has a bit better signal-to-noise ratio since PC generates
some noise and you can never get rid of it completely.
RANGE
It is
never easy to predict range. Check this
to get some idea. Basically depends a lot on your antenna location.
WHAT'S INCLUDED?
- PCI
MAX card (latest model)
- 15W
booster
- Mains
power supply for the booster
WHAT
ELSE WILL YOU NEED AND IT WASN'T INCLUDED?
- Coaxial
cable (50 ohm
coaxial cable RG213, RG58 or Belden-best),
keep it short, you can get it HERE.
- Antenna, we did not include it since you can build your own. Check our
guides. You can also get COMET
or MLB
6600 from our store.
NOTE
PCI
MAX 2004 can also be used in stand alone mode! A small control unit with
LED display can be connected via flat cable and enables changing the frequency
and power via menu system.

Stacked
spiral dipoles
The OMB-MP
antenna is composed of two spiral-dipole elements which form a circularly
polarized radiator. It is specially designed for individual use in low
power Stereo FM broadcast applications. Its lightweight, sturdy construction
makes it capable of withstanding the harshest environments. With stainless
steel construction and high conductivity coating the antenna is virtually
maintenance-free and well suited for extreme atmospheric conditions or
salty environments. Its high-tech yet straight-forward design allows mounting
to a mast or tower with extreme ease.
Circularly polarized radiation is especially advisable in rugged terrain
and/or large cities. It compensates well for the losses that arise from
reflections and the resulting signal trajectories.
This antenna offers its greatest efficiency in FM emissions that include
Stereo, RDS, SCA, or Sub-carrier information. It is highly recommended
for applications where vertical polarization alone is not desirable and
particularly where home stereo, or fixed horizontal, reception antennas
are a major factor.
The OMB-MP antenna can be vertically stacked to achieve higher gain figures
as shown in the chart above. Specify your operating frequency when ordering
as each antenna is factory adjusted to 1.1:1 SWR at your frequency. Each
element is DC grounded for additional protection against atmospheric discharges.
The MP-1-.5 handles a maximum power of 500 watts. Two versions of the
4-bay MP antenna are available, the MP-4-.8K (pictured) handles up to
800 watts and the MP-4-2K handles up to 2 kilowatts. There is also an
SGP-4 circularly polarized antenna available which handles up to 10 kilowatts.
A convenient aspect of this antenna is that you can add bays even after
you have purchased the antenna, i.e. you can upgrade an MP-2 to an MP-4,
etc. (email for pricing).
ADVANTAGE
- Fully wideband, no tuning necessary
- 300W of clean power
- Mains power, no power supply required
- Externally accesible power regulation, from 0 to max.

- Power supply
You need a
well regulated DC power supply. Specs are 13.8-15V/2A for MAX PRO I,
it needs to be well regulated to avoid unwanted hum in your signal.
Wall warts are not sufficient, use one of those HAM or CB power supplies
from Radio Shack or other. Read more about these here.
You can purchase a power
supply from us (check under Our Products > Accesories
on the left)
- COAXIAL CABLE
Connect antenna
with your transmitter (PC-MAX). Read more about these cables here.
You can purchase coaxial
cable from us (check under Our Products > Accesories
on the left)
- ANTENNA
Transmits your
signal to the nearby receivers. Read more about antennas here.
You can purchase antennas
from us (check under Our Products > Antennas on the
left)
- STEREO ENCODER SE-3
(and compressor LIMBO I)
You don't have
to purchase one if you ordered one of the Stereo models in an enslocure.
Stereo encoder enables stereo signal and can be hooked up to MAX PRO
I & MAX PRO II. We recommend you to add LIMBO I, which Iincludes
audio limiter, compressor and audio low pass filters at 15KHz.
- AUDIO EQUIPMENT WITH
MIXER etc
This is really
up to your budget and plans. Generally you will need a mixer sooner
or later so you can mix and control various audio sources (microphone,
CD, DAT, cassete deck). Read more about audio equipment here.
