2.5kW EIRP Complete FM Broadcasting Package
How Far Will 2.5kW Reach?
This type of power and antenna should be mounted on a least a two story building and on top of a 12ft / 3.5mt pole. If this condition is met and the building is on high ground, then up to 85km is possible with high quality radio receivers, Expect about half this range with lower quality radio receivers.

1kW FM Stereo Transmitter
This bold looking 19 inch unit is made to last. Constructed from steel and power coated in black, it's here to stay. The internal boards and modules are no exception. Driven by the world renowned Veronica® PLL board to give super low noise and RF stable performance. The limiter and stereo coder can be completely disabled if you want to use an external processor such as Orban, Inovonics or PC generated MPX/RDS. More info on the 1000W Transmitter
RDS Option
If you want to see your station name and more scrolling across the car radio display add the RDS Option, 'Add To Cart' rds-upgrade in the price panel.
This RDS Option is not just ordinary RDS, it is fully programmable dynamic RDS. This means the transmitter can be connected to a PC by a USB cable. The transmitters RDS circuit will pick the Artist and Song name from any folder on the PC disk drive. This folder is easy to set up in the DJ playout software, like Zara Studio etc. Detailed information HERE.

4.8dBi Antenna Gain
The 5/8 antenna is a high performance narrow band vertical antenna which is designed to being mounted to the top of a pole. Because of this top pole mounting it's physically higher off the ground than side mounted dipoles etc. Due to this, even if it's lower gain than the side mounted type, it can have increased range, just because of the height advantage.
20 Metre (66 Feet) Antenna Cable
This package uses 66ft / 20mt of LMR400 antenna cable. The loss on this cable and plus the antenna gain actually results in an EIRP of over 2500 watts.
2.5kW Maximum Range Chart
This graph is based on average customer reports in some directions. Basically this shows the typical ranges really ever recorded. Most of the reports were radio station listeners that phoned, texted, WhatsApp etc. into the radio station programs operated by our customers. Range is very difficult to predict as there are many factors that effect it. More info on FM Transmission Range
FM Stereo Audio and Processing
The FM signal starts in the internal Veronica PLL which produces the super low noise and highly stable FM signal. You can find more info on this at in our 1W Exciter (PLL driver). Then the internal stereo coder and audio processor boards provide a loud and crisp audio signal on the listeners radio. If your more of an expert, you can if you want use an external processor such as Orban, Inovonics or PC generated MPX/RDS, the limiter and stereo coder we supply can be completely disabled.
