Max, Yeah, of course you're right, especially since you don't need the full possible output of the amplifier. Have fun and let us know how it works.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Music in my shed
The "booster" is a radio frequency amplifier you put on the output of the transmitter, between it and the antenna. That should work fine if the transmitter is made to drive a 75 ohm antenn system. The cheaper transmitters are made to drive a short whip directly which may not be a 75 ohm match. the audio source into the transmitter is just like driving any audio line level input. tom a
Re: [BlindHandyMan] Music in my shed
Impedance mismatches cause power loss. That matters if you are running 100,000 watts or even 25 watts but all I expect to be putting out is a couple of hundred milliwatts. Even if I use a 1/4 wave whip which has a nominal impedance of 50 ohms and the TV booster has an output impedance of 75 ohms the small mismatch and low power won't cause any trouble. The C Crain transmitter has nothing but a short whip. I would have to open up the back, something I'm not afraid to do, and find the ground so I can take off a coaxial line to the booster. Regards.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Music in my shed
if max puts an antenna on a booster; would his trouble be the match between the output of the booster and the rca inputs of the transmitter? Don't the C-Cranes take rca input?

Hi Max, Please do let me or us know your findings. I have a home recording studio and tried feeding remote FM radios from an FM transmitter but was not satisfied with the result. This sounds like an alternative to running multi wires to headsets.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Music in my shed
Max, that will probably work, since those wide band boosters have to produce a relatively high amount of total power out, many low powered chanels added together with one input gives you one pretty big boom, you may get as much as 2 watts or so out of them. this according to our friend Richard Oehm who works in the TV and cable industries. this is highly illegal in the U.S. where the limit for unlicensed transmitters is a hundred milliwatts. However they gotta catch you and the FCC should have better things to do. Only problem you may have is providing a proper load for the xmitter since it was probably designed for a very low impedance whip antenna. have fun Tom WA6IVG On Sat, Nov 28, 2009 at 11:09:10PM -0600, Max Robinson wrote: > In the next few months I'm going to play with hanging a TV/FM booster on the > C Crain.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Music in my shed
I would just buy some wireless speakers from best buy. They even have them for outdoor use. Some of them have a fiberglass housing and are made to look like landscaping rocks.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Music in my shed
Mine does a lot better than that! What I do like about it over others I have used is the sound quality, it doesn't seem to lose the highs or lows say like my satellite car transmitter or the one I have from Radio Shack, brand unknown. It transmits more reliably than the RCA cordless headphones I have too. There is one corner though where it doesn't seem to reach no matter how I alter the antenna. If you know of a better transmitter I would be interested to hear of it. - Original Message - From: Max Robinson To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, November 28, 2009 8:56 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Music in my shed Don't mess with one of those C Crain transmitters.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Music in my shed
Thanks to all for the replies. What is a CCrane transmitter? I have not heard of this in Australia. Also what sort of range can you get with wireless speakers? I need to go around 35 meters and then in a metal shed. My 5.8 GHZ cordless phone works in the shed ok. Max.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Music in my shed
Several years ago I purchased the CCrane FM transmitter. It isn't cheap but it is fairly good. Sometimes I am a little disappointed in the output, while I am told there is a way to pull off an adhesive panel on the back and adjust the output there I have not been able to locate this. Still, it gives me coverage for much of my yard and I have it connected to an output of my stereo amplifier. Anything I run through the amp can be fed through the transmitter. I also purchased a pair of remote extenders. While I am so far unable to remember or figure out how to use the remote for the amplifier, the remote for my 200 disk CD changer works admirably so I can select any one of those and any track remotely. I don't know what range that has, I only use it between by little gym room in the basement and the stereo in the living room. I bought a book shelf style stereo off of e-bay for down there and have recently added a Creative Labs computer speaker system with powered sub woofer which became surplus to my other requirements to it to help rock my world when I go down there to work out. Sadly, that hasn't been much recently. Cordless speakers are another solution as mentioned before by others but I rather like to be able to take a boom box or something else outside while working or shoveling snow in the winter. I may switch the Sirius satellite through it sometimes since we don't have much good rocken FM radio up here. Last Christmas they had an AC DC channel which motivated me to throw a load of snow around to but sadly they took it away. - Original Message - From: Agent086b To: Handyman Sent: Saturday, November 28, 2009 12:30 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Music in my shed Hi all, not sure if this will be considered handyman stuff or not.

Max, if you get an fm transmitter get what is called a whole house transmitter.
