Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Mario Filippi (N2HUN), who shares a find in the QRZ.com online swapmeet: Talking House Broadcasters.<\/p>\n

If you’re not aware, Talking House Broadcasters are AM transmitters that were designed to be used by real estate agents so that potential customers could drive by a house on the market, tune their car’s AM radio to a specific frequency, and listen to a pre-recorded message.<\/p>\n

I’ve also been to ARRL Field Day sites where a Talking House Broadcaster was used to relay information about the Field Day activities to visitors.<\/p>\n

Of course, I would use one of these to broadcast my own music and Internet radio streams throughout my house. If I didn’t already have an SSTRAN AMT3000<\/a>, I would snap one of these up in a heartbeat!<\/p>\n

The AM output power is FCC Part 15 compliant, but with a good antenna\/ground, you might be surprised at the signal’s footprint!<\/p>\n

The seller currently has three working units he’s priced at $25\/each or $50 for all three.\u00a0<\/strong> Even as used units, this is a fantastic deal!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Assume if the link above is broken or missing, the items are all sold. Thanks again for the tip, Mario!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
