The RangeStud 5 W FM Transmitter, is perfect for wireless broadcasting music, audio, or voice throughout the entire FM radio band to any FM receivers in its path. Identical to the standards of quality and durability of the RangeStud product line, there is no other way to describe the 5 Watt model than anything less than a RangeStud! The 5 W RangeStud, is not new to DAGCO, but since its last appearance on the DAGCO site, it went under a brief stint of being known as the
Mobile BlackBox Orion-5000 and was being sold as a $260 unit. It is back in the hands of DAGCO in order to offer our customers an option between our Professional Grade Transmitters, the
RangeMaster 1 Watt and
RangeStud 20 Watt. DAGCO is excited to once again offer their 5 star USA-based support and new everyday low price.
The RangeStud 5 W FM Transmitter is perfect for effortlessly accomplishing your mission of not only extreme amateur radio entusiasts wanting to utilize its full 5 Watts of power modulation! The RangeStud's 5 Watts of power is in extreme excess of DAGCO's main goal of wireless whole house music, but like the 20 Watt Transmitter, we wanted to offer a product that permits both small-scale amateur radio enthusiasts and even the common person to hear their music everywhere on their property. Radio enthusiasts with a desire of professional broadcasting can hit their receivers from a several feet away to those that are up to 5 miles away. The RangeStud 5 Watt allows farmers and large estates, churches and charitible organizations, and school organizations the ability to cover their entire application area without deadspots. Whether you want to cover just a couple city blocks, cover your entire campus, or cover several miles, the RangeStud is the solution for you. The beauty of the RangeStud is not only its reasonably compact design, but also its low net project cost of only $229.95, its ease of assembly, and its portability! Assembly is a bit more complex than DAGCO's standard goal of being "so easy that even children can accomplish the task". However within a couple minutes to a couple of hours of setup you could have your MP3 collection, your satellite music, your Christmas music, or your favorite Internet stream reaching everywhere in your house, everywhere on your large estate, and even to the cars on the road. Is the 5 Watt RangeStud still a bit too much range or sophistication for you? Check out the RangeStar, RangeMaster, or DAGCO's other Transmitters.
The RangeStud comes stock with the RangeBooster 1.0 Amateur Grade 1/4 Wave Ground Plane Antenna, but for those wanting a more robust, weatherproof, mountable outdoor antenna to maximize the RangeStud's range and clarity, DAGCO suggests either the RangeBooster 2.0 Quarter Wave or RangeMax 5/8 Wave Professional Grade Antennas. The beauty of either of these antennas is the ability to be easily mounted at extreme heights, while being able to withstand all of mother nature's elements. Check out DAGCO's deep discounted 5 Watt Bundle Deals (coming soon) for out of the box max range solutions. The RangeStud 5 Watt has boasted modulation ranges of over 5-6 miles when coupled with the antenna upgrades. They say it is all in the name, and trust me, I am sure there is plenty of speculation for how a transmitter becomes a 'STUD'...Although many will insinuate some sort of Freudian slip, innuendo, or just down right lack of professionalism. The Genius, has rigorously tested this transmitter and only a 'STUD' could withstand such tests and can only be compared to what one is called in athletics if they exploit their opponents to such a degree that their opponents would be better off to simply forfeit---STUD!!! The RangeStud uses PLL technology and with the correct properly tuned antenna it has broadcast nearly 5-6 miles in 100% crystal clear stereo! If you deem yourself a professional and feel you are a match for the power of the RangeStud, DAGCO Electronics would be thrilled love to see you unleash the power of the RangeStud!
