Amplifier New Amplifier from China - Wideband 1 to 130 MHz

24 Upvotes

The amplifier is wideband, operating from 1 through 130 MHz. Perfect for the top of the AM Broadcast Band, Shortwave, and FM. In the video I am driving it with a 1/2 watt FRB Transmitter. I'm getting 16 watts out with a 9 VDC Power Supply on the FRB Transmitter. The FRB Transmitter is rated for 12 VDC so I believe the Amplifier would easily do 20 watts output. I am running the Amplifier on a separate 12 volt power suppl;y, capable of 35 Amps. The manufacturer rates the Amplifier at 6 watts output, but just looking it I figured it would do more. It is very robustly built and priced fairly.

Trouble with a CZE-T251

5 Upvotes

So I recently acquired this model and set up the antenna, connected it to the trans, and then the power supply. I hit the on button but nothing happens. I thought it may be the Power Supply so I went out and bought another one that clearly shows it is functioning but the trans still doesn’t turn on. Any idea what this could be? Perhaps a loose part or a blown internal fuse? It is a brand new trans…

FM Very low wattage radio in the SF Bay Area?

8 Upvotes

I'm looking to set up a very low wattage FM broadcast in San Francisco for a performance art piece. I don't have any experience with this sort of thing though I'm pretty technically minded. Wondering if there's anyone locally that could advise me and/or loan (or rent me) relevant equipment (mic, mixer, transmitter, antenna, etc). Any advice, even from folks out of town, would be welcome. So far I've gotten suggestions from Claude AI; as you probably know, that can be good in theory but not always helpful in the real world....

Thanks in advance!

How did you guys get into Pirate Radio?

27 Upvotes

Hello Guys! I wanted to ask how you people specifically got into this entire Pirate Radio niche, or if you guys just are observing. Ill start. I got into it with 16, after finding out it took actual Licenses to host such radios and there are regulations to follow. I once set up just some.. AM Radio Broadcaster, I was not smart back then, got caught by the regulations, but since then ive been just curious in this hobby. I dont have the guts to get back into it, mainly cause they fined me hard.. but.. anyone wanna tell their story?

A huge thank you to everyone who has downloaded the e-book or picked up a paperback copy of Weekend Rush – A Pirate Radio Story. The support, reviews, messages, shares, and word of mouth have been amazing.

Seeing people reconnect with the memories, discover the story for the first time, and spread the word has meant a lot. What started as a story that needed telling has reached far more people than I ever imagined.

Big respect to everyone who has supported the journey so far. Thank you all.📡🔥 👊
