And, if you compare LCD’s specs to a broadcast-class gear, stereo separation is the only dark spot, -45dB vs. -60dB. This is indeed the only thing I miss my city stations. Other than that, 75dB dynamic range, 0.1% distortion are all superb, one has to listen to it to believe. I’m an audiophile.

This is the only FM transmitter that does music, period. Broadcast-class ones might be better, but they are too powerful for home, put the price aside.

To avoid hum, don’t use top frequencies (around 107.9MHz). To avoid excessive distortion, also avoid low end frequencies (around 88.4MHz). I use 97.4MHz and everything is perfect, loud and clear.

This is exactly the kind of info I was looking for and you’ve saved me a lot of time and money for your effort. My sole intent for this equipment was for Xmas Light Display and you’ve helped immensly.

The EDM is an outstanding transmitter for the price, the slight hum may be a result of high SWR from the test antenna. I know mine had a minor hum until I tweaked out the antenna. With a GP antenna, at full power the EDM could easily cover a few miles, but not recommended in the city.
