The Hamilton Rangemaster transmitter is considered the king of unlicensed Am transmitters and set up with an outdoor antenna will travel up to a couple of miles legally but costs about 8 or 9 hundred dollars. At the low end of the price spectrum is the SStran amt3000 which can be bought assembled for about $150 or less than one hundred in kit form. I haven't had muchpersonal experience with AM transmission since I own a condo and getting up an outdoor antenna here isn't allowed. On Jun 26, 2010, at 3:01 AM, hank smith wrote:
