Click here if you are concerned about any legal issues. Some states are getting serious about illegal transmitters, see this link. Five years in prison says Florida law. There is a new anti Pirate law pending in New York. See the ORDER page for Pricing.

Why buy the RangeMaster?

Easy installation and setup! While the RangeMaster is easy to get going we do recommend having a resource with some radio background to get the best results possible.
Here are some third party youtube videos related to the RangeMaster!
Setup and studio Components
Using the Barix Internet Link 

Meter is needed for the final adjustment (just peak the meter) You choose! Most want the VOM meter, but we can also install a small meter in your transmitter so no VOM is needed, just let us know! (Call your order in)

The features of the AM1000 are too numerous to fully cover:

  • The Legality! Rest assured that you can operate under the law, and if there is a issue we will be there to help.
  • RangeMaster digital link! Only RangeMaster has this RS485 carrier interface. This link allows great flexibility in designing your multiple transmitter system. With this link it is possible to synchronize RF carriers between transmitters. 
  • GPS controlled sync capability for multiple transmitters! (RF carrier, not the audio) 
  • Quality Construction! Assembled in USA!
  • Onboard included "Green light" power set system makes setting the power easy! (Just let us know if you would rather have a voltmeter)
  • The outdoor box is 1/4 inch fiberglass (better then metal) wall, made in Germany, designed for many years of service.
  • Repair record! The only repairs we get are units dropped from towers and lighting related (be careful in routing cables)
  • Power! Power is adjusted and controlled by you!  Some (store bubble packed) transmitters and others do not have adjustable power and typically are not operating at the full allowed power.
  • Stability! Rock solid stability, like the big stations! This is critical for several reasons. click
  • Great installation video! 40 minute install video goes through the areas of installation in detail.
  • AM1000PR studio module! Easy interface provides a transmitter wire to audio 1/8"
    plug connection.
  • Great Range! The RangeMaster range is legendary!
  • Great sound! Near FM sound quality! Virtually flat response from 20hz thru 20khz!
  • Only Part 15 with Asymmetrical capability! Drive the AM1000 to 125% mod with an AM audio processor like the Innovonics 222 or Volumnmax (These audio processors are designed to be used with an AM transmitter). Or improve you sound with a standard processor (like a Behringer Autocom Pro MDX1400). Some transmitters have a single chip included audio processor which is typically not very helpful.
  • Resale! You are not buying junk! resale value is high on our product.
  • Long life design! Our transmitters are designed to last many years.
  • Lighting protection! Antenna has gas tube protection, balanced audio in is transformer isolated (helps prevent ground loops and adds protection and isolation) Power also has protection.
  • Temperature range! We have units operating in the desert and in the artic!
  • Low power consumption. Great for solar applications.
  • Of course, no FCC license required.
  • Not a kit, fully assembled. (It is illegal to sell transmitters without being certified).
  • We recommend using high quality shielded wire which we can supply. Other makers include cheap wire.
  • Uses easily replaceable locally available standard 102' CB whip antenna, Radio Shack part # 21-903
  • See the order page for any current specials that may be in effect!

Putting up the Rangemaster can be as easy as installing an TV antenna! You just mount the transmitter and once you properly ground and tune the transmitter you can get the incredible range and sound that many others have gotten with the Rangemaster! Most everything you might need you can get at Radio Shack or Lowes (see pictures below). Our units are fully legal, you can broadcast commercials or anything you want! If you use an audio processor like the Innovonics 222, you will get even more range legally! Our transmitter is the only one we know of that can be modulated +130% like big station transmitters to give more range and big sound! However you will sound good without an audio processor or you can just use an Behringer audio processor which won't modulate the transmitter to the full +130% but it will improve your sound.

Click Here for some of the Radio Shack mounting hardware

First you mount the 1 1/4" mast from Radio Shack to your house or building, and then you mount the AM1000 RangeMaster AM Transmitter to the 1 1/4" mast with the mounting bracket AM1000BR which can we supply.

Once the transmitter is secure you do you wiring, run the shielded wire which we can provide down to your studio. One pair is for audio and the other pair(s) is for power. Then run your ground wire (from Lowes) from the ground terminal on the transmitter to a ground rod (Radio Shack) or other suitable ground.

Then do your tuning using either the computer on the transmitter or a voltmeter or the meter installed in the transmitter option, (a voltmeter is more precise). Finally adjust the power to the legal limit using the computer "green light" legal power indicator (very easy)

Then plug in your audio and you are on the air! Mounting the transmitter outside is a little more trouble then an inside unit but the range gained is worth it for the serious broadcaster. See the How To Hints page for further details.
