One question we hear often is: Can I get a list of products needed to build a 1KW transmitter?
We’ve noticed that many of our new and less experienced customers face challenges when selecting the correct boards and modules to assemble an FM stereo transmitter. That’s where the KIT Wizard comes in. It simplifies the process by helping you fill your shopping cart with the key components needed to create a fully functional transmitter.
We’ve prepared a comprehensive list of essential items, including the FM exciter, stereo encoder, RF FM amplifier, RF LPF filter, RDS encoder, I/O board, Mains Power supply and more. These components are designed to work together seamlessly. To complete the setup, you’ll also need to wire everything, install the boards into an enclosure, make adjustments, and add an appropriate antenna and power supply.
For convenience, we’ve created standard packages with their main specifications clearly outlined. You can learn more about each component on their individual pages (all of which are available for separate purchase on our website). At the heart of every package is the versatile MAXPRO8015 FM exciter, which serves as the foundation. Additional components can be easily integrated based on your specific requirements.
Instructions: To take advantage of this offer please follow instructions carefully.
Step No 1: Open the KIT Wizard’s page here. Select quantity of 1 for one of the products, either 15W or 1000W package wizard, than click Add to cart.
Step No 2: Now have a look at the cart. You will see that there are many optional items listed next to MAXPRO8015 exciter. Select the ones that you like and configurator will add them to your shopping cart to purchase. Any that you don’t need simply leave out.
The shopping cart will look something like this:
Now just add the items that you don’t already have by clicking into their boxes. They will be added one by one to your shopping cart. Once done just finalize the purchase.
I hope this helps you make an easy purchase and build a 1000W transmitter or something else.

Third option does not include an AmpBox but separate pallet, filter, fan, DCDC converter and breakout board
Recommendations for assembly of transmitters:
1. Install the boards into metal enclosure, fan is recommended for exciter
2. If full power is too much, set power limit jumper to desired setting with jumpers (you can select 1W, 2W, 3W, 4W, 5W, 6W, 7W, 8W, 9W, 10W….or 15W)
3. Connect antenna, audio input and supply voltage
4. You can change power and frequency with LCD as desired
5. With mains operated units please beware of high voltage, it can be deadly. Use inline mains fuse and mains filter.
How does this work with driving amplifiers?
8015+ is easy to setup for driving a pallet amplifier:
– Set power limit jumper to desired drive power setting with jumpers (you can select 1W, 2W, 3W, 4W, 5W, 6W, 7W, 8W, 9W, 10W….or 15W)
– Connect the SWR and power reading voltage to PWR and SWR pins (2015) or just connect DIGIAMP cable to our filter (8015)
– Set the power meter voltage sensitivity (trimmers on directional coupler – usually on filter) as you wish and the exciter will never drive your amp beyond preset value.
