FM10A 4
INTRODUCTION
The Ramsey FM10C is a true STEREO FM broadcast transmitter, which any
person may build and use in accordance with the rules of your nation’s
telecommunications authority. For U.S. residents, that authority is the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The FM10C's low-power
broadcasting capability and other practical uses can be fun and interesting
for people of all ages, but the FM10C is definitely not a toy. We will refer to
the FCC regulations frequently in this manual and provide you with some
information necessary to enjoy the FM10C's capabilities in accordance with
the law.
Typical uses for the FM10C include the following:
 Extension of home stereo system - without wires.
 Listening aid for auditoriums, churches.
 Student-operated school radio station.
 College dorm favorite music broadcast service.
 Short-range, two-channel experiments and demonstrations.
We think you will be very pleased with the transmitting range, audio quality,
frequency stability and stereo channel separation of this build-it-yourself FM
stereo transmitter. If you follow our assembly directions carefully and use
your FM10C in accordance with applicable FCC rules, a whole new world of
sharing music, news and views with friends and neighbors awaits you.
Since the sharing of music and information is vital to the culture of our late-
20th-century global community, we realized that our FM10C low-power FM
Stereo Transmitter kit was certain to attract worldwide interest among
hobbyists, students and "pioneers." While the use of the FM10C may need
to be limited to "wireless stereo extensions" in some USA households (to
comply with FCC Rules, Part 15), we have seen it serve very well as a
serious, though simple, broadcast station for remote villages throughout the
world where low cost AM-FM receivers are available to people of all
economic levels. After you're done building your kit, sitting back and
listening to your handiwork, consider this: many other FM10C’s just like
yours are faithfully relaying news and information to listeners in remote parts
around the world. The FM10C is most definitely not a toy!
