Is this device FCC Type accepted? It seems that operating this device would be illegal to operate without type acceptance as this is a transmitter.

Don`t know but it works great. Never had any problems well, I guess if they`er using this tech why can`t we

The system needs to have the remote start feature. To find the correct remote for the system, check the module for the FCC ID and search using that information.

Hi Cynthia, For this device to function correctly, the transmitter and the receiver must be energized in a particular sequence. This is clearly described in the instruction booklet that accompanies the device. I installed my device in my Deland, FL home, which is where my instruction booklet is. However, I'm currently in Italy, so I can't verify now the correct order of installation for the transmitter and the receiver. I suggest that you ask Amazon to copy the instruction booklet to a .pdf-file and send it to you as an attachment to an e-mail message.

These are bootleg radios that should not be used without a license from the FCCIgnore these other answers. These radios can broadcast on bands that require an FCC license. Don't think you'll get caught?

Simple answer is NO. This is not a short wave radio transmiter. It will receive short wave broadcast only. This unit is an FM transmitter and you must have at least a Technician License issued by the FCC to transmit.

If you tune the transmitter to the same frequency that a local station is broadcasting on, then it could interfere. This is why you are suppose to find a frequency test isn't in use in you area. As to how much interference: that depends on the size and orientation of the antenna, and how much you tweak the power output by using the unofficial modification. Out of the box, the Crane unit I got would only broadcast a strong signal about 20 feet. Even with the pot turned up fully, I don't think the signal would go that far, maybe a 159-200 feet (assuming no interference from buildings or walls). So if you are in the suburbs or a rural area, the chances that you interfere with a neighbor's stereo are small. Note that some alternative devices are available that have greater power output. If you read the reviews on those, you see reports of people getting a signal up to half a mile away. Those are not FCC approved devices, which is why they have greater power output. The worst case scenario is that a neighbor complains to the FCC, they track you down and you get fined. Probably not likely to happen with the Crane. Might be more likely if you buy and crank up an overpowered transmitter from someone else. Then you are running a pirate radio station.

PS: If these radios are not "type accepted" it is illegal to use them on any band, except but a licensed ham on the ham freq. Only.

Yes, I spoke with the FCC and they were very helpful in determining the maximum signal strength allowed without a license (allowing me to select a transmitter) and determining which channels weren't licensed and were available for broadcast so that you don't irritate your neighbors. They do not provide hookup or technical assistance as that is not part of their charter.

You most certainly can. I use this FM transmitter to transmit for our church ministry. Remember that you can only use it on the lowest power setting to be legal. I use this transmitter very effectively for our ministry. If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact me once again.

The FCC licenses broadcast stations, not devices. Since you set the frequency yourself, you are creating a broadcast station. The FCC doesn't require licenses for low power broadcast stations as long as they don't interfere with licensed stations. That means that you have to find a vacant frequency with enough surrounding clear space so it doesn't bleed into surrounding stations. If you do interfere with a licensed station the FCC will be on you like a chicken on a June bug. My unit broadcasts for about a block so back yard is no problem - unless you have a VERY big back yard.

I am not an expert on FCC regulations. However, since these radios are sold to the public and their range is limited, it is my opinion that you can pick any of the available channels and use them. I would imagine that the low transmission power on these radios would preclude them from requiring a license on any frequency.

Works fine, if you're receiving. But transmitting could be an issue as you are effectively changing the SWR when the antenna is fully retracted. You could damage your transmitter.

No FCC license is required. They are not super powerful. However in a dense city I can get a strong 2-3 block range

Its always been a problem with small transistor radios. Nothing wrong with it. I live in NYC and somehow can't hold an FM signal unless I'm holding it. It's understandable. Don't think it doesn't work.

Not sure what your asking about the Mexican frequencies? But the unit transmits the frequencies required and has nothing to do with where you are, its line of sight transmission. But having said that it is possible that Mexico uses those frequencies for uses that would interfere with your unit or even render it unusable!! So I would try and find out if the frequencies are used by government or commercial entities before I would buy the unit. Hope this helps?

1. No. The FCC licenses radio stations, not devices. However, if you transmit on an unused frequency, there's no danger of your transmitter interfering with licensed radio stations, so the FCC won't bother you. Furthermore, at .1 watt power (low setting), or .5 watts (high), you needn't worry about interference and the FCC. You can find a list of unused frequencys at RadioLocator.com.2. I get a strong, clear signal all over my yard. I really like this unit.

No it is not FCC certified. It works in 2.4 GHz ISM band and does not require any special license but with 3 watts of transmitting I guess FCC would not give the certification because this band is for low power equipment only.With the supplied antennae you can cover up to 1000 ft line of sight with no walls /obstructionsI got a friend overseas using them with high gain directional yagi antennae (16 dbi +) at the proper height , with TX and RX close to the antenna and he is getting 5 miles + line of sight coverage.
