What is the range of this transmitter? I need one for transmitting to cars for a Gemmy Christmas light show.

Don't waste you money. The range is few feet but quality sucks. Very cheap and low quality

I'm using one that is 12.5 inches long. I can hit a 440 repeater 20 miles away from inside my house. I can also hit a 2 meter repeater 15 miles away. Although the reports are not full quieting, when I go outside the signal reports improve dramatically.

I've never tested out the range on it when I measured distances. I use it to turn my pool pump off and on when I'm vacuuming the pool. I know it'll work through an aluminum deck and across the pool (28'). I'd guesstimate that it's range is at least twice that, maybe more. It's a radio based transmitter, so it should work through walls, etc. I have my outside sockets on inside switches but if you're thinking of using this for holiday decorations I'd say it's worth a shot. Good luck!

OK, so this is a really old post right now, but maybe someone is looking for the information. Any FM transmitter in LA is going to be so-so. There are simply so many FM stations in LA that it's hard to use a transmitter without interference. If you are driving in your car there will be several times where you will need to fidgit with the settings. It can get really annoying. So, will it work? Probably. Will it be stable or enjoyable? Probably not.

I have it installed in my car and the transmisor failed to transmit beyond the 2.5 meters away from the receptor

Get the Extreme with the amplifier, it works great at those distances. You may need to place in a window towards the transmission tower in your area. Use the included power adapter, as it produces a bit more current and seems to work better. I have used the Extreme at those distances, and I am receiving 40 plus channels.

I want to put this on the back of my camper. 21' will it transmit that far to my car? Possibly 28'

My husband believes it's 50 or 60 feet. Let me preface that to say that we have to go through our house and garage with a lot of metal between both. That tends to disrupt other wireless products we've used and made them almost useless. This works fine, so I don't really know if this answer helps or not. There is no "line of sight" between the transmitter and receiver for us.

I can't recall the exact specs but mine is easily 200 yards away and it works 9 out of 10 times. The transmitter is mounted to a tree across the drive, the receiver inside the barn. Thick walls on the bar too. This is a sweet purchase man, no fooling.

Any devise that can get fm reseption would get the transmit from this transmitter.Hope I helped you

Not sure about how they determine the transmitting wattage, however it sends a clear signal 150 feet. I am quite pleased with it. Easy to work, plug & play.

I would adhere to the answers already given, especially to the person that said that you may not even need it. I have 4 Transmitters going at this present time and I have not had to use one. Remember that you cannot use but only the lowest power setting to be with in the FCC guidelines for transmitting. My transmitters, which I use for the ministry easily covers our church campus area. Should you need more info, please submit another question.

Your transmission range depends on obstacles and weather conditions. As a rule of thumb I have transmited to Hawaii using what is called skip. With the addition of KL 60 it will more than tripple your range of transmission and in" line of sight " it would transmit quite a distance, depending on the type of radio you have and if you use sideband etc. I would strongly recommend this item for improvement of your transmission range, as well as a clean signal. Good luck.

These work on the Family Radio Service (FRS) frequencies and are limited to .5 watts output power. One mile range is probably GREATLY exaggerated. I'd guess you might be able to get 1/3 - 1/2 mile, line-of-sight, under the BEST circumstances.

No not at all, at least not with my car. With it being only 1ft away from my radio it won't work so i highly doubt from 20ft away

The transmitters periodically transmit an update signal, which also tests the battery. If the receiver missed an update signal, the lights will alternate red/green until it receives the next update signal, which may return on its own if the range is marginal. The actual range is much less than advertised unless everything is outside and in the line of sight. I can barely get 20 feet through a wall. If both lights are on continuously, it may be a real failure.
