    This is a very well presented and innovative piece of radio equipment which I am looking forward to setting up. This will be used together with the two battery valve kits I purchased previously.

    Nicely made. Grounding important. Use an insulated tuning tool to adjust the antenna trimmer. Decent audio. Pleased with performance.

    Pretty Good Little Transmitter

    I guess I'm biased. I've been a professional broadcaster for more than 40 years. I've been on Collins, Gates and Harris AM transmitters. So I know what to expect. Audio wise, The Spitfire sounds pretty good. I'm feeding it with an Orban 424A Compressor/Limiter. We ran an Orban Optimod at the radio station. So I have a critical ear. OK, this is no Gates. But for a hundred bucks, I can't complain. Range? With the ATU turned off, and straight wire out, it covers my fourplex, my neighbors to the left and right of me and across the street. Behind me too. But no further. Fades out after two houses. I believe the SSTRAN AMT-3000 is a superior transmitter,due to GAIN, COMPRESSION and MODULATION controls. The Spitfire has NONE of these! It's made to be driven by an iPod, or something with a ...

    Spitfire AM transmitter

    I repair antique radios,I purchased this unit as there is a lack of content in my area on AM. When I tried this unit,the hum level was terrible. The hum was lower when the unit was grounded but still unacceptable. Replacing the power supply with one which uses a power transformer rather than the switching supply it came with did solve the hum problem. The sound quality is only fair,it is lacking in bass response. It also has a strange low level crackling noise which can easily be heard on low level passages of music. One can minimize these deficiencies by compressing and equalizing the audio sent to the transmitter but it really shouldn't be as bad as it is. Fortunately,the transmitter will modulate to 100%. The range may disapoint some users. Using the antenna wire supplied,the signal ...

    Excellent Transmitter

    I bought this transmitter to broadcast whatever content that I wanted to my old AM broadcast radios. I have been using it with my new radios too. I find the audio very nice and frequency stability is rock solid. Another reviewer mentioned that they did not measure the full 100 milliwatt output. That is because these transmitters as well as any other AM transmitter that abides by Part 15 FCC rules can only have 100 milliwatts INPUT to the final amplifier. I have found this transmitter to have better range than any of my other transmitters. With the transmitter's antenna wire just draped temporarily across a shelf I can receive the signal throughout my house, my yard, and in my separate workshop. If you want to increase your range you can build a simple vertical antenna setup. Plans ...

    Pro-longing the life of your beloved AM radios

    I have a lot of old pre-FM radios. When Norway (as the only country in the world) decided to close down FM broadcasting I bought a FM transmitter + several wifi/DAB+ adapters to keep my FM radios going. When purchasing this AM/MW & Top Band transmitter I've managed to keep all my radios going. This Spitfire AM Transmitter MW Broadcast & Top Band Transmitter was very easy to set up and use. It was in fact just "plug and play". The day I received the transmitter I connected it to my Como Audio Musica, tuned in an internet radio station and tuned in a couple of my old AM radios. It worked very good indeed! I recommend this unit for all of you that own an old high quality radio from "the golden era of radios". With this you can enjoy both FM, DAB+ and internet radio in addition to LW, MW and ...

    Good entry-level transmitter for Part 15 broadcasting

    Quite a good little transmitter for the price. Any trouble I had with hum was mostly alleviated by adjusting the receiver. Simple enough to install and adjust and coverage area was as predicted...about 300 feet out in any direction. Audio distortion level is acceptable and might be better if the user can process the dynamic range and add some EQ. Very small and easy to hide away, or put it in a weather-proof enclosure and mount it at an outdoor antenna.
