I am sure you have seen this one, http://planetchristmas.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2 but has anyone had success with it. If I got 200 ft Id be happy. For the price I wanted to stay under 100 so I think this will work. Do you:rolleyes:

Thanks
John

I used this and got 2 miles with a nice dipole antenna mounted 10' high outside 4 feet from my house.

I looked at that but how long did it take to get from Hong Kong and was the Antenna pricey to build.

I bought one of those also for a backup -- seems like it took only a couple weeks to get it.

Seems like I recall some folks having issues with this one. There are a few Ramsey FM25B's for sale over on PC (and they're always for sale on eBay) and that transmitter is rock solid.

I have the ebay transmitter that was posted earlier.

Can you post any pictures or details on the dipole antenna that you made?
