RangeMaster "No-Spin" Zone

We have tried to engineer a product that will do the best job possible for you, not just a vehicle to make money. We have been there, wanting a decent transmitting solution, when nothing was on the market. That is why RangeMaster was designed. Here are some examples:

Tuned circuit: While others spend pennies here in this critical area, we use an air piston capacitor (Q of thousands) that costs us over $6 each (we have to buy 100+ of them at a time to get the price that low). The coil is tapped (expensive to do but provides the best results) and costs about $30 each. See quality  rock solid  links.

Machined sockets for chips, very expensive, but quality. All chips are socketed for ease in replacement.

We use thru hole construction. Others may use surface mount technology, but SMT technology we feel really just gives a (perceived) high tech look, no real benefit for the customer. The SMT benefit is only realized in high quantity manufacturing to reduce costs.
The benefit of thru hole technology is ease of repair and better solder joint reliability characteristics with temperature change. Often we hear customers comment on how easy the Rangemaster is to work on and repair with simple tools.

High temp caps: We use 105 degree C caps. These parts provide longer life then standard capacitors

Regulators are high quality parts.

Polarity protection and surge protection provided.

Quality, German made fiberglass box.(1/4" thick walls) Better then a metal box, this fiberglass box allows some flexibility in the wind.

As a rule, all parts in the product are way over rated.

Great specs! New! Increased Hi-Fi response!

We have made a science of keeping these transmitter highly efficient, to get the best range possible.

Another example of an advantage of buying quality, recently some FCC agents have begun requiring filters for some ground systems. Our quality versatile coil circuitry handles that requirement easily.

Beware of "spin" that other manufacturers weave trying to get sales, do your own independent research, and definitely talk to actual users of the product!!

Just like a quality automobile our resale is high. We have even heard of folks selling our unit used for even more then you can buy it here after a discount. Transmitters that are not quality you will see selling for pennies on the dollar on the used market.
