The outdoor unit is ready to mount to your building, pole, or any suitable location. Once mounted, the unit is cabled to your audio and power source using 2 pair or Cat5 shielded wire.
You can drive the RangeMaster AM1000 FCC certified transmitter with audio from almost any audio source. Customers use CD players, computers, digital players, and many other sources. If you specify your audio source when ordering we will try to provide any needed interface though the included AM1000PR audio adapter will provide the needed interface for most situations.
An audio adapter (AM1000PR) is included with the transmitter kit that will adapt the 600 ohm balanced audio the transmitter uses to an unbalanced 3.5mm jack.
A standard 16-volt wall transformer is included for a power source in the kit.
The Rangemaster can be modulated 130% positive and 90% negative peak for that “BIG” station sound! We recommend the Innovonics 222 as an excellent companion to the AM1000.
A special feature of the AM1000 Rangemaster is that the units can be synchronized together to cover a greater area. You can mount transmitters around a shopping mall/building and link them together so they do not heterodyne. E-mail for further details. There are other methods for multiple transmitters,
This unit is meant to be installed by someone who has some radio/technical background, a technician. If you don’t feel qualified to install this unit yourself contact a local radio/TV shop. They may be able to help. Also if you have a friend who is a Ham radio operator, they may be able to help you.
Thinking about buying/operating an Uncertified illegal FM or AM band Transmitter? Don’t do it!

An FM transmitter that has more than approx. 200 feet of range is illegal!

Please choose 2 transmit frequencies 1590Khz 1600Khz 1610Khz 1620Khz 1630Khz 1640Khz 1650Khz 1660Khz 1670Khz 1680Khz 1690Khz 1700Khz and include choice in the comments section when you pay. 1610Khz or 1620Khz is recommended, as these frequencies are usually the quietest. (Check your frequency choice in your area by listening in during different times of the day to that frequency before your order.) Using the higher frequencies (above 1400Khz) is recommended as there is less background noise and the transmitter is more efficient at the higher frequencies.
