Current cheap transmitter

[ctmal]

Hey guys, long time....
I'm curious what people are using these days for their fm transmitters. I've been using a Vastelec FM-02 but I may or may not have accidently reversed the polarity on the power supply and let the smoke out....hahaha....oops.

Anyway, I do have an old transmitter to get me started this year, I'm just wondering if there is a current replacement for the FM-02 that people like.

Check this one out, its crazy cheap but it actually works extremely well. I used one all season without any problems. You just need to solder 75cm of wire where it says ant.

ran similar one this year, not perfectly clear, but it works good

I've used the same one as mentioned above for 3 years now with no issues. You can still hear it almost a half mile away. The only thing I recommend is putting an RF choke on the audio cable that goes into the device.

Do we have instruction how to?

I decided on a Signtek transmitter and the Soundblaster Play 3. We had the best sounding audio we've ever had and now have no need to hang a dipole antenna. One less thing to do next year.

The only "how to" is to solder in a small piece of wire into the hole marked "ANT" located on the board.

There is an xEssentials video about audio that talks about a lot of the details.

Been using a Signtek transmitter since 2016 without issue (purchased for (49.99). Just bought a backup unit last week for $68 while on sale with coupon.. They were going for well over $100 late last year. What is your criteria for 'cheap' ?
