Re: [IRCA] Talking House Tx WAS 1710 kHz Pirate station in Portland, OR caught by FCC

One of the "more upscale" Goodwill's that I shop had two or three at one
time, for five dollars each.  All had a cassette player in them.  Might
have been neat to experiment with.

Patrick,

I paid $12.99 for the Talking House transmitter.  The Goodwill store had
3 of them.
When I plugged it into a ground-fault outlet, it tripped the breaker.
It works
when pugged into a regular AC outlet.  4 ft wire for a antenna in our
den,
I could hear it a house or two away on the Escape radio.  On the bottom
of the 
transmitter it says that it complies with Part 15 of FCC rules of
regulations.
Last time I visited the Goodwill store the other two were gone.  One
sold on e-bay
last week for around $32.00.  

Dennis,

That is cool Dennis. How much was the talking house tx? Is it 100mw? How
far does it get out?
