Curious if anyone with more electronics knowledge than myself can offer some insight.
My coworker's dad recently passed and he was a huge radio guy. My coworker didn't know what to do with all of his old radio stuff so he gave it to me. Among it all were two Ramsey FM transmitter kits, already built. One is an FM10 the other is an FM25.
Both of them have practically no signal output whatsoever. I can only pick up the transmitter within a couple inches of its antenna. I tested this with several different radios also. Quite literally the antenna on the receiving radio has to be physically touching the transmitter's to be able to receive anything...
The FM10 is set up for 88.7mhz, the FM25 is set at 102.3.
I removed the little whip antennas that stick out of the top and tried external antennas on both transmitters and made sure they were the appropriate length for the frequency, still having the same issue.
What do I need to look at to get both of these working properly?
Thanks in advance.
