It certified but only 1 problem, it's certified to Part(s) 2 & 73. I wonder how many of these end up in the wrong hands? Sold by the same folks that bring you the Whole House FM Part 15 transmitter.  |

I wouldn't put that POS any where near being on the air. probably just a filtered version of the Chinese garbage flooding ebay and amazon.

That could probably get certified for RSS-123 in Canada but first it would have to show it doesn't cause interference and as Thelegacy found these Chinese ones are quite dirty.

Looks like it uses the same BH 14xxx or BH17XXX FM modulator chips. I recognize the POS switching power supply.
No way would ANY reputable LPFM station use this. I smell something rotten here.

If this thing is legitimately certified, then it is clean. Whether an LPFM station would use it or not is another question.
The Decade CM-10 was certified for BETS and RSS210 use in Canada - it was a 'cleaned up' Chinese junk transmitter. It's performance is acceptable, but not up the standards of its bigger brother, the Decade MS-100, or other, far more expensive, transmitters such as the Broadcastvision.

This is certified in Canada too and looked it up. It is certified with BETS-8 which is a catagory of very low power in a remote area for FM(88.1-107.5) so like the CM-10 has been modified to meet the certification terms. Here's the Info........http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/smt-gst.nsf/eng/sf01230.html But I don't know if this is a licensed or unlicensed service. BETS-8 doesn't mention this. I will dig further. Here's more on BETS-8....... www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/smt-gst.nsf/vwapj/bets-8.pdf/$FILE/bets-8.pdfMaybe Artisan can help....Does BETS-8 need a license or is it like BETS-1? If it meets the technical requirements is that your license? BETS-8 specifies no field strength. |

I believe that anything other than BETS-1 or RSS210 requires a license. The IC license is relatively easy to obtain. It's the CRTC license that is difficult.
