Re: [Swprograms] Small FM transmitter (Extending the Range)

[c Copeland <chetcope@xxxxxxxxx>]

So come on tell us to increase the range!

I also have the C Crane FM Transmitter for computer listening.  Unfortumately the signal has a hard time going around the bend between my office and into my bedroom (doesn't seem to go thru the single wall), so it doesn't get much use--too much interference --unless it's turned just right! 

C Crane used to include instructions to increase the range with the predecessor (non Sangean) model.  I've forgotten exactly what they said, but I improvised on there instructions: I  was took an old broken off antenna from one of my sangeans and taped it together with the antenna on the transmiiter (lowest point to lowest point). The tiny transmitter now had a huge antenna side by side with the original.  Worked fine.  Don't have any broken antennas or I'd a tried that!  Guess I'll have to find one!

I use the C. Crane unit, which is made by Sangean.  I have it connected to
my RX340.  I like to tune in some good Afropops such as are broadcast from
Gabon, Guinea, Burkina Faso, Ghana and Mauritania in the evenings (my time)
and transmit them all over the house to my FM radios.
Be advised, if you buy the C. Crane unit, there is an easy tweak to increase
its range.  Let me know if you want the details.
I can listen in my yard with it on.  I sometimes wonder what the neighbors
think is going on, with these mysterious
