AIRWAVE FREEDOM
PROCASTER AM TRANSMITTER
Legality
The Procaster AM transmitter is FCC approved and Industry Canada approved for legal use in the USA and Canada without a broadcast license. Don't risk hefty fines from the authorities by getting caught using a non-approved transmitter often purchased on Ebay or Amazon.
Sturdy Construction
Lightweight aluminum enclosure with dual mount aluminum antenna results in low mast loading and resists bending in strong winds. Stainless steel hardware ensures a long corrosion-free life.
Built-in Tuning Meter
Forget about complicated jumper selection and calculations. Tuning the antenna is a snap with the built-in tuning meter. Simply adjust the antenna trimmer using the included tuning tool and observe a maximum reading on the meter. Intuitive and straighforward.
Full Range Hi-Fi Sound
Featuring low distortion hi-fi sound with superb low bass response and BIG FULL sound just like commercial broadcast stations.
