For the better part, you'll just have something like a PC hooked up to this transmitter via a 3.5mm headphone jack. You can get started by getting the FM transmitter kit from Jaycar I believe. DSE used to do it but I think they've largely stopped now. Just don't forget to pay royalties for any songs you broadcast ;) |

They come in a variety of sizes, cheap as chips and most give you a selection of frequencies to transmit on. I’ve go a little one that runs on two AAA batteries that plugs into my walkman which I use extensively in the car whilst travelling in Australia. I also have a USB powered one which I use a home and it has a useable range of about 30 metres which allows me to listen to my own commercial free radio station whilst working in my shed. The sound quality is excellent also so I wouldn’t be without one. |

| 1332739 | 2013-03-15 01:10:00 | www.rsm.govt.nz A 1W maximum output makes it a VERY local station... Basically, just your own neighbourhood (surrounding streets)... |

That's quite right, but most likely he wouldn't be allowed to do anything else, even assuming he was able to conform to the requirements of the "General User Licence for Low Power FM Broadcasting' "What type of licence do I need? Contact an independent radio engineer or certifier who will assist you with the type of licence you need. Licences are granted according to the type of service that is required. The type of service selected also determines the frequency bands available. See below for a list of licence types, click on any of the types for further information." |
