I don't know what that Rice Views means but thank you if that's a compliment lol

You can't create consistent characters yet but if you keep the description of the person the same and environment description the same but describe new movements you can get pretty close.

Thank you. :)

Can't say I have ever used lead free solder but I can imagine that the lack of lead would make it crap. Thanks. Always good to have helpful tips :) Cheers

@@DiosconnosotrosI53 The type of antenna depends on what you want to do. Do you want an omnidirectional signal or a more directed one. Do you want a vertical signal or circular polarized one. As far as a specific brand goes, that is not something I get into. You do however need a good quality antenna for 1k watts. Using cheap or homemade antennas at that power level can be very problematic and even dangerous. At that power level I would suggest speaking to a professional broadcast equipment company.

I hope you find the answer to what you are looking for. It took what seemed like forever to figure out the white dot problem I had because there seems to be nobody posting online about these problems. That's why I made the video event hough it has one of my lowest view stats. I realized that people would be searching for an answer just like me but there seems to be no audience for it so nobody shares the info. If you can share a link to a video so I can see the problem, I would love to look into it and see if it can be solved. If not don't give up. There is often an answer, sometimes even a simple solution that someone probably already knows. Cheers.

Hey wow great story. I love hearing about these kinds of journeys people have been on. I especially love all kinds of Eastern Europe stories. I have a camera lens with USSR printed on it and I love it to bits. I think stories from the Soviet Era are just fascinating. I wish I could watch more movies about all the times after Starlin. Anyways that's just me lol. Thanks for sharing the story about your friend. I think that's so cool. I wish people would make movies about this kind of story. Just to be able to have a movie including Lithuania and Latvia or any of the eastern Block countries would be beyond cool. Thanks for sharing. You made my day :)

And I Have Theatre Projector To From Ussr, I Have Reel To Reel Recorder/Player To, Brand New In Box, I Havent Even Opend It Yet

@@frequencywatchers Nice! I was a crazy collector of reel to reel recorders and film projectors lol. I now have a garage full of stuff I'm trying to sell. I unfortunately never had USSR stuff but I do have quite a rare Sony from the 1960s . If I had the space for it I would just keep collecting. I find old audio and film stuff to be so cool. I'm jealous that you are still collecting lol. Cheers

I don't know what you mean by hte shared files. Are you talking about the meta data in the stream or the server information? Please explain what you mean.

@@inspiresoundpro nvm i fixed it thank you

There are a lot of them for sale on places like Ebay. Just look up lightning arrestor 88 to 108 mhz .Make sure you add the words "coaxial cable" into your search. They have different power rating dependingon how powerful you transmitter is but you can use almost any one of them even though they say 1000 Mhz to 6 Ghz. You should find a lot of them. They are not too expensive. You can buy more expensive ones but I if you shop around you should find a decent one for not too much money. Be sure to use a long metal spike into the ground to be sure the lightning goes into the ground and be careful not to hit any cables or pipes in the ground.Good luck.

It's a transmitter not an audio Amp so there are no speakers. If you want to hear the audio going into the transmitter you will need to connect another mini jack socket to the audio input of the transmitter in parallel. Then you can plug your headphones into that. Hope that helps. :)

@@inspiresoundpro sorry sorry not a speaker my bad, a microphone like a condenser

Lol no problem. Yeah the idea is this transmitter is for a home radio studio transmitter. So you should use a little audio mixer. That way you can play music and talk on the mic. There are lots of fm transmitters on TH-cam with a built in mic so this kind of transmitter is more rare. This one is more fun if you use an audio mixer or computer output.

I'm not sure. Never tried it on Mac but if you can get Winamp to work on Mac then yes I'm pretty sure it will work the same.

Thanks, will check it out

It's always hard to know without seeing what you are doing but if you have Winamp running with all the correct info it should work fine. I have found sometimes that you need to include a station name which I just put as the letter A then it works but there can be a number of things like maybe your internet is wifi and not fiber etc that sometimes causes problems. It's hard to know like I said without actually seeing what you are doing. Do you get a connection but it doesn't send audio or does it not connect at all?

@@inspiresoundpro why was my post deleted ?

Lol I would never do a thing like that. These videos are entirely for educational and entertainment purposes only :)

Lol well spotted. I was wondering how long it would be before someone asked that. Yes its an AI face swap. I wasn't too keen to show my face on camera so I did a basic face swap. It's not perfect I know but it's not bad for free open source AI. It took a bit of experimentation until I got it to look mostly right. Hopefully it will improve like most AI till it's as good as some of the stuff being used in the movies like Mission Impossible lol 😂. So well spotted you have a good eye for it. Cheers.

@@inspiresoundpro Yeah it looks really good, but something is just off about it 😁 But I am sure that AI will improve so much so quick that very soon it will be close to imposible to tell apart reality from AI

@mikachigi Yeah its amazing how far Ai has come. It gets better everyday and new companies keep appearing that are better than the previous ones. Check out my latest video today. It is 100% Ai generated. Crazy how good it is these days.

Thanks. No this has been chatted about a lot. If you scroll down the chat you will see mostly that although some people like using a balun it is not necessary. But I think this argument/discussion will never end lol.

Hi. I am not an expert in digital transmitters but my understanding is that whether analogue or digital, the antenna is only affected by the transmitter frequency and power output. What the signal carries, whether analogue or digital really does not impact on the antenna choice or use but I stand to be corrected. That's unfortunately not my area of expertise. Cheers.

@inspiresoundpro I'm planning of putting a 120 ft tall self supporting steel lattice tower on a 1000 ft tall hill in austria. After watching your video I think I will use a dominator antenna instead of the standard dipole array, in conjunction with a 3kW ERP IBOC transmitter to get about 40 km (25 mi) of good sounding stereo FM and HD-Radio reach. Because heavy thunderstorms aren't unusual in my region and the tower will be in a exposed position, lighting are probably going to strike the top mounted antenna quite regularly. Where should I mount the lighting arrester? Directly after the antenna, down at ground level of the tower, or in the transmitter building? Also I'm not shure which transmitter brand I should purchase. Should a get a Nautel, a Broadcast Electronics, Gates, etc.? Which manufacturer would be a reliable choice?

@@user-munm I unfortunately can't recommend any specific manufacturers. It takes a lot of research to make that sort of decision. I would think it would be best to speak to a professional broadcast installer about a system like that. There should be a few of them that you can speak to in your country. They would have the best insight into the best choice and the complete set up. There are also a lot more things to consider than just the equipment. so they would be the best to speak to.

I understand that broadcast bands are limited so most countries would justify their control as a way to make the airwaves fair and balanced but whether you see that happening in that way I guess is very subjective. What I wish is that more countries would take the types of ideas like New Zealand have where some frequencies are made for low power broadcasters to work without a license. That way even though the bigger corporations might control the airwaves, at least some space is made for the public. Thanks for your comment. Cheers.

Have you tried techspot.com ? Just Google Winamp download and scroll to techspot link on Google . The link seems to be clean and the download seems good.

Thank you for your kind words. Always nice to be appreciated. :) Glad you enjoyed the video Cheers.

Most people would not share that kind of info. Thanks for sharing. Always interesting to see what people got up to. Cheers.

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the video :) Cheers

Thank you so much :) Have you tried watching my transmitter circuit video? It's small and easy to build and will broadcast to your whole house.

Thanks yeah there are a lot of better transmitters but the idea was to have the easiest to assemble and cheapest transmitter possible for a fun build that you also would normally not need a license to operate. So yes there are lots of ways to improve the transmitter and that's what is part of what people can learn but as far as fun easy and cheap this one works great. Thanks for your input. Cheers.

@@inspiresoundpro no problem, I am licensed but got stuck in the pirate band piece. maybe another nice tip (Google) SDR Twente. allow the audio and just press the button: MAX IN for the rest it is simple you can choose what you listen to (there is both licensed and pirate to listen to)👍

Hi all the parts are listed in the beginning of the video. Cheers.

You are very welcome. Thank you for the nice words :) Its always nice to be appreciated. Have an awesome day.

Hi. You will need either software that can mix music or at least to audio players like two cell phone to be your music source. Then you need to be able to record the radio link so you will need an audio recorder like Audacity. It can be tricky to wire it all up. One of the best ways to do it is to use what you would put together for an audio streaming station. A lot of it is free like Winamp, Radio Dj Software and Virtual cables but you might need some help to set it all up. It can get a bit tricky so it helps to have someone who knows their way around audio software setups. Try watching a few of my streaming radio videos. Those can help you get set up with something similar to a radio studio. Then you will need to edit it all down to a nice short demo with software like Audacity. I have a "early access" radio presenter course starting soon that might help you on your journey. Best of luck. Cheers.

Hey that's great news! Well done. I would need to know what signal strength and footprint you have been approved for as well as what region or country. If you don't want to post the info here you can email me at inspiresoundchannel@gmail.com

Thank you so much. Its always nice to get compliments. Its does give me a boost to keep going. Sometimes there are too many nasty comments that make it a bit disheartening but your comment has made my day. Thanks so much :)

Yeah I have been thinking about building a receiver. The receiver preamp is also a great idea. The only problem is that most receiver preamps create a lot of extra noise. A really good one can be expensive. I will work on the FM receiver though. Thanks for your input. Cheers. :)

@@inspiresoundpro Would be great if you can make a design with common transistors, tried to make one from a schematic from electroschmatics all I could hear was static and it would never tune. Rally a big fan of this video

Hi. I don't do I stallations anymore. I have built complete radio stations but now I just teach people about radio and broadcasting. It is important to use a good company to install your radio station to make sure you are compliant with broadcast laws of your country and get good value for your equipment and installation. Best of luck and do your research before paying anyone for the installation. Cheers.

I like the idea of a video transmitter too. It is much more complicated though because the signal needs a multiplexer that makes it a lot more difficult. I will keep it in mind for the future but I will have to see how to make a bit more basic. Thanks for the sub :) and thanks for your comment .Cheers.

@@inspiresoundpro I understand, perhaps I'll give it a try myself :D Where did you actually gain your knowledge about electronics? Gonna stay up to date about your uploads :)

The lightning arrestor should be used no matter what antenna you use. Although there are antennas that handle lightning better than others you should always use a lightning arrestor.

While your swearing and cursing is a bit lame when you can just ask a question I am willing to help. This is one of the few TH-cam channels that actually answers questions.

It depends on your country's laws. Many countries allow low power transmitters like iPhone transmitters and car FM transmitters but like I said it depends on your country. Also the range and power output also varies from country to country. In the USA for example according to Google " Unlicensed operation on the AM and FM radio broadcast bands is permitted for some extremely low powered devices covered under Part 15 of the FCC's rules. On FM frequencies, these devices are limited to an effective service range of approximately 200 feet (61 meters)." That would work for most peoples houses. But be sure to find out what the laws allow in your country.

Maybe 200 feet to a handle held radio

The best is to ask the person selling the transmitter. They should know if it is FCC compliant or FCC certified.

Sad to hear about Norwalk. The original Dominator was fantastic. Yeah I love making antennas out of all sorts of bits and pieces. I have been working on a design for a quarter wavelength antenna as well. I will put that out when it's ready. Thanks for your input. Always nice to hear about other peoples experiences. Cheers :)

Thank you :) Glad you like it.

My friend, can you download the file and tell us the information?

I'm not sure what you mean. What file do you want to download?

Hi.Thanks for your comment. While I enjoy the input from viewers you might want to tone down on the "misguided" and everything "wrong" vibe. This is not a university channel for antenna studies. It is a channel for mostly newcomers to radio. While your comment is technically correct, it misses the point that the effective radiated power is in effect amplified because of the concentration of the signal along a horizontal plane resulting in a stronger signal in the broadcast footprint. So please try take a deep breath and try be a bit less attacking in your comments. Viewers can learn a lot from the comments in the videos but the added info doesn't need to be aggressive. And by ending off with "respectfully" you are just showing that you are in fact being disrespectful.

You are welcome :)

Hi. Thanks for your comment. I don't sell transmitters. I just help people to learn about radio broadcasting equipment and radio presenting. There are many professional transmitter companies online. They should be able to help you.

Hi. Yeah sure. It all comes down to the half and quarter wavelength at 99.7 Mhz. Using the online calculator the quarter wavelength is 75.174 cm and half wave length is 150.348 cm. So the distance between the two antennas is 150.348 cm measured from top of the lower antenna radial and the bottom of the antenna radial above it. The measurements on the cables will be multiples of the half wave and quarter wavelength. I hope the makes sense. Cheers.

Thank you for the interesting information. I would like to know whether DePaul 2 or 3 Depi can withstand a power of 800 hundred watts. Thank you.

Hi. The power rating will depend on the quality of antennas you buy. You should also make sure that the harness is rated for that power as well. The place that sells the antennas often will sell the harness too so they should be able to tell you if the package is rated for that amount of power. Cheers.

Update I got ahold of a username and password from get stream hosting but they don't work on the Icecast link

When you log into your account you need to check that the streaming is turned on and that you have filled in all the details on your Winamp streamer. If all is done right the streaming should work.

No with a lightning arrestor all the electrical discharge goes straight into the ground if it is installed correctly. If you are still getting damage to equipment after stalling a lightning arrestor then you should check if the installation has been done correctly.

@@inspiresoundpro Arrestors only work when the voltage becomes above a certain threshold level, so that normal (wanted) operational signals do not trigger the arrestor. Equipment will therefore face a higher voltage, although for a very short period. If an electrical discharge from i.e. the center conductor goes straight into the ground, something is wrong. The path to earth for a center conductor has to be triggered first.

And a lot of the ones have a disc inside that blows you have to replace it or you no longer have a connection to your antenna ! Found this out with. Johnson Viking years ago .

Thank you for your comment.

Yes this is a long standing problem with Winamp. Check out this short video I have about solving it th-cam.com/users/shortsSRARZ7nOJaU?feature=share

Thank you for your comment. It really helps beginners to see this kind of information shared. You are right this circuit will drift and a PLL circuit is better. That said I completely disagree that this is not a great circuit. This circuit was not intended to be broadcast quality or anything close to it. This circuit is a cheap easy fun circuit to build that gives learners an Immediate experience with FM circuits. In fact one of the best ways to learn about drift is to experience it. This is a learning circuit and it's a great one at that. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It's of great benefit to the viewers. Cheers.
