Help request: Adding External Antenna to FM broadcaster
prc1
use with iPods. I wanted to use it to transmit computer audio out to
my workshed, which is about 20 feet away. It's power output falls off
quickly as its 'antenna' is the audio input cable.
The solder point on the PC board is a single solder connection. I've
found some online references for adding external antennas to these
things. Some of these involve constructing elaborate rigs with copper
pipes and so forth. One reference says that you can connect a simple
FM 'dipole' that's shipped free with stereo receivers but doesn't give
particulars on the hookup.
Now, If I look at a schematic of a dipole, electrically it's a big
loop in a T shape. If I hook up one of these to the transmitter and
use one leg of the two antenna leads on the dipole, does the other leg
of the antenna connect to ground?
Thanks in advance for any assistance with this...

That would be a violation of Federal Law.

If I'd wanted a sermon I'd go to church. I should've known I'd get at
least one of these kinds of replies.
Thanks for not helping. A fellow ham at work clued me in on what I
need to do.

You asked in an Amateur newsgroup. Amateurs have licenses to protect.
Perhaps if you tried a "pirate" newsgroup you'd get more sympathy.
You say "fellow ham"; does this mean you are a licensed amateur and
don't know how to trace a circuit? Pathetic.

One end connects to the board output marked "RF" and the other goes to
ground.

transmitters.
As to doing what you originally thought, I don't think it would work
very well to begin with. Although it's probably NOT illegal. Output
levels would be so low I would think it's under all the regs.
With the Ramsey stuff, you could go around the block.
