Re: [microsound] [.microsound] antennae


What about using one of those little consumer devices designed to send sound from your walkman or ipod to your car radio? There are a couple of brands, including the iRock "wireless music adaptor". It has a mini stereo plug input and can be tuned to several frequencies (the main downside to the iRock, is that it can't be tuned to all possible frequencies, but is limited to four on the bottom end of the FM dial -- don't know if the competitors have this limitation). I tested the iRock and it seems to handle the distance just fine.

there are many small kits around to build short range stereo FM transmitters.
all you need is a bit of experience with a soldering iron, or help from someone
who does, and you should be away. they usually transmit on the 88-108MHz (FM
radio) band, so can be tuned in on a normal FM radio.

you should be able to purchase a kit from a local electronic parts supply shop,
or order one over the net for less than US$20 - if you go to
http://jaycarstore.webfactory.com.au/ and type "KC5310" into the search, it will
show the "Minimitter" kit, available for $40 Australian.

this kit has stereo line-in, so plugging it into a sound card is easy.

hope this helps,

ben

i'm interested in shortrange radio broadcast (within a 20ft.x20ft.
room)...going to try to do all the encoding in software so
I was hoping to
find some sort of antenna that could hook as directly as
possible into my
soundcard's audioout. i'm not looking to outgun kmel ... a 
real basic
setup is
all i need. i'm ignorant on the subject as a wholeaside 
from the basics
so

any information would be really helpful.
thanks,
stephen
