I see you were going to use an TV antenna to transmit... I hope you did not use full power on the included antenna or the TV antenna? Otherwise you could have blown up something on the card.

Do you have broadcast signal? on your radio from a distance
Is your audio cable ok
Do you use a un stabalized power supply ( you need a stabalized power supply )


Can you check this.

Can you disconnect the audio cable and see if your strange noise is gone? on the radio.

What card do you have ( 500mw/1000mw/2000mw/2500mw)

Based on your answer i assume you have a radio signal on a transistor radio in another room of your building.

Maybe Marko, can give some comments based on the problems you have.

Reading al your post here, you did use an TV 75omhs antenna on a 50ohms transmitter, this causes problems on your transmitter.

I think by using an antenna not suitable for this transmitter and using cables wired together is damaging your transitor.

What power supply did you use on this pci card (12-15V stabilized power supply is adviced)

Thats why i think your have this strange noise.

My conclusion is that your transitor is toasted, defect.

the power supply its 15v 1.5A but never used before,just to test the new antenna and the antenna i have is this one

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TUNED-87-108MHz-F ... 18Q2el1247

so....its better give up....or the card can be fixed?

By the way,the tv antenna just work a bit just to test.I just transmit 3 hours on the weekend days...maybe the card have 8 hours total working and i have a fan blowing air trough the pci card.....

Thanks!
