I don't have any experience of that particular model.

However assuming that you mean the very low power 50nw transmitters, my
experience of these in general has not been a good one. They claim to be
stereo, and they make the stereo light come on on the receiver, but the
sound actually comes out in mono. Don't know what the problem was, but I
think a stereo transmitter should actually produce stereo sound.

He didn't say what model.

My tiny 50nW FM TX does stereo quite well so some clearly do work.

I think this guy is probably interested in the higher power models for
setting up small pirate radio stations.

That's certainly mostly what comes up if you search for PLL FM Transmitter
on ebay.

Most of the time it is poor soldering, you will find the audio inputs with a
solder
blob across them.

Oh dear :-( presumably cheaply made.
I wonder, are there any actual good makes out there, as it could be a
useful device, if I could find one that produces proper FM quality
stereo sound.

Hi Guys ,

I was looking at both low power and high power stero units as well as
digital stero units as well wanting advice on all hill units or others..Iam
also intrested in running a pirate radio station but I also know some people
use these units to play music with there christmas decorations in front of
there homes ,business etc...even real esate compnaies used them for drive by
home / condo selling in eastrn canada and some other store marketing
options.

I'd like to play digital music on them from my computer with specialized
software too and software suggestions also welcom.(windows based programs)

Comments on units welcome and types of prebuilt arials too..

Thanks Brock
