pci max trans. amps, and freq.

Post by plutonium233 »

I am plannning on purchasing the pci max fm transmitter and I have a couple of questions. Is it possible to change the frequency range outside of the preset, and if so is is changed by software or hardware. I saw in another post that the FCC generally turns a blind eye to transmitters under 5 watts that don't interfere with other stations, I live in a very rural, pretty wooded area of the U.S. and don't plan on broadcasting a whole lot. There are no more than 8-10 stations that come in on the FM band here either. If I use the 5 watt transmitter, keep a faily low profile, and not interfere with other stations can I get away with it? :wink: 8)

Thanks,
Kyle

The PCI Max software controls both the on/off of the PCI Max card and what frequency you transmit on.

It could be, if you changed the program. But you could get in
trouble by disturbing other services. It is a serious matter.

One more question, if I were to use a frequency that I could verify it didn't interfere with others would it be ok or is it just a bad idea to broadcast outside of the preset range.

Thanks,
