The Ramsey FM100B is a good deal. It sounds pretty good and is stable and clean. I built one for a friend and he used it for a couple years. He brought it for me to fix and I found a penny and a paper clip inside. I cleaned it up and it still works well. I did modify it with an external antenna port so we could run a small amp. It doesn't want to be driven hard.
The pcs-electronics CYBER MAX boxes are a good buy, too. They're modular so you can mix and match parts. They even have an RDS board you can pop in there. I modified one of those with a PL-259 connector and a cooling fan upgrade. They have several adjustments so you can just buy the boards you want, or a whole package.
The built in compressor might be OK for talk, but it was pathetic for music.
If you want REAL equipment, google: Broadcast Electronics, Harris, Collins, Armstrong, Marti (low-end), Crown, QEI (low-end)
REAL antennas are made by ERI, Scala, Cellwave, Harris, Shively, Jampro("junkpro", Kathrein

Well I found it relevant.

This is cool but how is it stickied?
-
I posted this in another thread about radio broadcasting equipment and Ian transferred it here because he felt it was in the wrong area I guess. I didnt notice he stickied it, but that was probably an accident.

Nice to see a portable packet radio.

It's pretty cool. A portable packet radio that works underground. Now, you can send the message of freedom to spelunkers. :lol:

and it was invented by a teenager, oh the horror, the young are actually smart.
