The most important part of your radio station is not the transmitter, you guessed it the antenna. If you have an all singing and dancing transmitter that is the best, but a naff antenna, it's like having Tesla S Plaid with a flat battery and tyres, you're going nowhere fast. In conclusion, the antenna is IMPORTANT, make sure you choose the right one. If you're not sure what you need, talk to us and we'll be happy to advise you.
These days most customers want the radio exciter and amplifier as a combined unit all in one enclosure, but for the old school and die hard enthusiasts we still do stand alone amplifiers. Our amplifier range is from 12 watts up to 1000 (1kW). Our 1kW amplifier is also designed to be stacked to create even larger power levels. Contact us for more info on this or click on the buttons here.
Kits and Modules always have a special place for us, our whole company was started in the late 80s and built on selling RF kits and modules first in the UK then the US via monthly electronic magazines. Our Veronica 1W PLL gained massive popularity during this decade. Check the buttons for more info.
In addition to the main items, radio transmitters, amplifiers and antennas, we also sell other items like spare parts, components, filters, STLs, limiters, audio equipment etc. Check out the buttons here and have a browse through.

If you’re taking your first steps in broadcasting, choosing an FM transmitter can seem complex. Factors such as power, coverage, antennas, and regulations directly influence the performance of your station.
This AAREFF guide offers you clear guidance before making your investment.
Before looking at models and power levels, ask yourself:
- Do you want to set up a station in a school, university campus or Hospital?
- Do you need community coverage in a town or city?
- Are you aiming for a regional or national station?
Your goal will determine the power you need.
- Low EIRP (0.1 – 30 W): Covers small areas such as educational institutions, churches, or neighborhoods, with a range of 1 to 12 km, provided the antenna is suitable.
- Medium EIRP (50 – 500 W): Provides urban-level coverage, with ranges of 16 to 49 km.
- High EIRP (1 kW – 100 kW): Can cover from 60 km all the way up to 195 km in some cases depending on height and performance of antenna
It’s important to remember that the antenna and its location are just as decisive as the transmitter’s power.
Understanding your country’s broadcasting regulations is crucial because every nation sets different rules on transmitter power, frequencies, and licensing. These rules determine how far your signal can legally reach, whether you need a license, and what equipment you should invest in. Ignoring them can lead to fines, confiscated equipment, or even your station being shut down.
By knowing the regulations from the start, you protect your investment, avoid interference with other broadcasters, and can plan realistically for your station’s growth.
An FM transmitter works best when combined with the right equipment:
-An antenna carefully chosen to match your needs — The antenna is just as important as the transmitter. Whether you select a dipole for simple, cost-effective coverage, a circularly polarized antenna for better reception in cars and mixed environments, or a multi-bay system for extended reach, the right antenna design will maximize coverage and signal reliability.
- Audio processing that ensures a clear and stable signal.
- An RDS encoder if you want to display your station’s information on car radios.
- Cables, filters, and other accessories that guarantee professional, interference-free operation.
It’s common to start with a lower-power transmitter and scale up as your audience grows:
- Start with a 20 W unit for testing or small community coverage.
- Move up to 100 W as your audience expands.
- Step up to 1 kW or more for regional coverage.
AAREFF transmitters are designed to grow along with your station’s needs.

We are British company.

This is why we completely outstrip the competition when it comes to high powered radio transmitter installations, we beat them all.
We keep the cost low, because we do everything in house, we design, we make the radio transmitters, we make radiation plots (try to get the other radio transmitters sellers to do this, you've no chance), we make antennas, we make antenna radiation patterns, we fabricate almost everything from raw materials. In fact we have complete control over manufacture and bringing the product to the customer, no middle processes..
Hit CONTACT below, talk with us, tell us what you need to do.
