I own a dominator. The REAL one from Norwalk electronics. Sadly they are out of business ! We got about the last one I think they had built themselves Here is the story they farmed out production to a company that turned around and sold it to a China outfit they make one now called the terminator. It’s junk ! Lightly made and not nearly as durable as the original from Norwalk ! I think the last I heard years ago they were trying to sue the outfit that sold the specs to the Chinese manufacturer. Being a ham those lightning arrestors do not always do there job we just shut down and DC the coax from the transmitter same with my ham rigs only connected when in use. I have made a spark gap one for a guy with a AM 🏴☠️station he of course uses his whole tower as a antenna it sits on insulators the guys are insulated too . He has all tube type stuff it’s pretty much bulletproof to that problem. I have also found along with a towers lightning rod and grounding system those stainless steel puff balls called static eliminator’s do a LOT to bleed off a impending strike . If you want to build a 1/4 wave FM ground plane it’s very easy from copper tubing and PVC pipe that was our first antenna and it’s still up there 15 years later as a back up simple and to make with good soldering skills .

The whole opening premise of this video is WRONG. One does not increase transmit power by adding or stacking antenna, so misguided. Antenna arrays only serve to concentrate the power you are producing in direction or horizontal plane. Respectfully, Dennis KV4WM

Hi.Thanks for your comment. While I enjoy the input from viewers you might want to tone down on the "misguided" and everything "wrong" vibe. This is not a university channel for antenna studies. It is a channel for mostly newcomers to radio. While your comment is technically correct, it misses the point that the effective radiated power is in effect amplified because of the concentration of the signal along a horizontal plane resulting in a stronger signal in the broadcast footprint. So please try take a deep breath and try be a bit less attacking in your comments. Viewers can learn a lot from the comments in the videos but the added info doesn't need to be aggressive. And by ending off with "respectfully" you are just showing that you are in fact being disrespectful.

@inspiresoundpro 11 күн бұрын
Hi. Yeah sure. It all comes down to the half and quarter wavelength at 99.7 Mhz. Using the online calculator the quarter wavelength is 75.174 cm and half wave length is 150.348 cm. So the distance between the two antennas is 150.348 cm measured from top of the lower antenna radial and the bottom of the antenna radial above it. The measurements on the cables will be multiples of the half wave and quarter wavelength. I hope the makes sense. Cheers.

@@inspiresoundpro Arrestors only work when the voltage becomes above a certain threshold level, so that normal (wanted) operational signals do not trigger the arrestor.

Actually antennas don't make or amplify power. They can direct it where it needs to go. When we stack the dipoles on top of each other as this video shows, it forces more signal outward and less straight up and straight down. Now in most cases the station doesn't want to radiate straight up, and probably not straight down. In most cases the antenna is out in rural areas. Now they don't want the signal to pass over a close by town, especially if its one they are licensed to cover. So, they may have a bit of down tilt or steer as the broadcast engineer mentioned in his comment. I proved one day that this is really a thing. I am s ham radio operator. I maintain one of the 146.88 MHz repeater in town. We had taken our four element antenna array down for repair and was temporarily using a 5/8 wave antenna. The 5/8 wave antenna could receive an operator about say 10 miles away perfectly. He was transmitting with about 2 watts on a hand-held. There was another operator about 50 miles NE of us on the interstate highway running about 25 watts into his 5/8 wave antenna. The repeater couldn't hear him well at all, but when I switched over to the four element 6 dBd array antenna then the mobile operator came in full noise quieting and we couldn't pickup the guy on the HT anymore. By the way we were standing 750' above the ground while conducting this experiment. For my purpose I need an antenna with both characteristics. One that can cover 50-60 miles out and at the same time, cover the guys in town too. So I'm trying a multi receiver concept. One receiver in town, and two out in high places on the edges of town.

With such a simple LC oscillator and non temperature compensated components, and no drift compensation like a phase-locked-loop, there will be both short term and long term drift.

Personally I would use times microwave lmr400. Although rg213 is a standard in many places. It predominantly was used by the United States military, due to its double silver shield. It does have less than rg58, but also it's considerably heavier. And if you're stringing cables up a few hundred feet on a tower. Wait becomes a concern, also there is more LMR 400 in LMR 400 made every year than rg213. And is also generally available easily on the internet. You get the power handling and lost characteristics of essentially half inch heliax, without the weight and complexity., there's also LMR 240, which is a RG58 roughly sized coax that has about the same loss Factor as rg213.
@inspiresoundpro Ай бұрын
Thanks for your input on the cables. Always appreciated. I have had a few people talk about Lmr cables. They are great and solve a lot of problems. In many cases though the cost for small operators is not worth it. For a small community radio station simply turning up the transmitter power fixes any losses and the installation is simple enough with most setups being less than a thousand watts. Many as low as 100 watts. So they don't really see the value in it. On big professional set ups yeah its almost a no brainer. But for a station using a 250 watt transmitter into a two stack antenna set up 30 meters up needing only an erp of 200 watts its not even on their list to have LMR cables. But it's always good for new people to learn about the cable options. Cheers :)

30 year plus veteran broadcast engineer here, let me see your breakdown of these antennas is quite good. This video actually serves two purposes one to explain in layman's terms what's going to happen. And also the technicians that get too deep into the engineering., I have seen some antenna Rays with as many as 16 circular polarized dipoles stock at one wavelength apart, taking up most of a 400 ft tower. All being fed using Ridgid cable. I've also made them with rg59 coat hangers and PVC pipe. The only limiting factor is rg59 can only withstand about 100 watts. In that case we would use rg11, which can handle approximately 500 to 1000 watts. Usually we design each dipole to handle 50% of the total power will be feeding into the system even if it's a four-way system, will still design them to take usually around 400 watts each. I've also seen systems, where you have four dipoles on the tower. The cables on them are all long enough to reach the ground. And then all of the same length. Each dipole is connected to the output of a separate power amplifier, the inputs to the power amplifier are generated by a divider Network after the exciter. Essentially the phase splitting and alignment, is done at the input of the amplifiers has the amplifiers do not add significant phase shift. This can't be said for all amplifiers. But in most cases the modern solid state ones can do this. It's actually possible to obtain 100,000 watts effective radiator power using only 10kw of amplifier. Each dipole, is built into 50 ohm antenna. All the cables are exactly the same length of 50 ohm coax. And yes this uses hundreds of feet of coax to do this. You must have the same length at the Top Antenna as at the bottom antenna then all the cables are ran back to the transmitter. Where you would have the output of 10 seperate power amplifiers. Each power amplifier feeds one antenna.. the input of each amplifier, comes from a power divider network. Essentially the same thing you're building for the antennas with coax, you build a smaller version that stays down with the amplifier. The beauty of the system is that it's easy to install you just roll up the excess coax and cable tie it to the tower. Once you have all the antennas spaced on the tower and everything is ready to go. With the multiplied gain of 10 dipole antennas, we're being effective radiated power of 100,000 watts. The true beauty in the system. Is that should you decide you want a small amount of beam tilt, either up or down it's going to be accomplished by just changing the length of the coax feeding the power amplifier to that antenna. And up or down beam till is easily added

@inspiresoundpro Ай бұрын
This transmitter is a very low power transmitter of probably only 30 to 100 mw. A higher power transmitter with 1 Watt or more will have a much longer range but it still depends on the antenna height and type of antenna. Often the antenna height will make way more difference to the signal range than the signal power. Often the signal power only helps to fill in the signal area or footprint but the antenna height can make a huge difference. For example a 1 Watt transmitter at 20 Meters high will have a much much longer range than a 20 Watt transmitter at 1 Meter height. So although the power of the transmitter does have an impact on the range there are other things to keep in mind too.

@inspiresoundpro 2 ай бұрын
Hi. Thanks for your comment. Yes its true that it is commonly believed that a ballun is needed but in fact there are many engineers who believe that a balun is most likely to be done incorrectly and therefore would do more harm than good which is most likely when first time builders use one. The ballun can reduce some interference and match impedance but if the antenna is built correctly, tuned close to resonance, and installed correctly the ballan will most likely make no measurable difference to the transmitted signal. In two radio where the antenna is being used for transmitting and receiving then a ballun can be more noticeable but for a purely transmitting antenna which is what this design was intended for, a ballun is not really needed. I do appreciate your input though. Its always great to chat with people about this because it gives newcomers more insight into things they might not have heard of. And to add to this I ran a low power commercial radio station with a 1 Watt Fm transmitter and we did not use a ballun and the signal was fantastic. The reason is that the antenna was high up on a hill and tuned and installed very well. These things matter way more than a ballun. This is something I try to get my viewers to pay attention to more as it will dramatically affect their range. Thanks so much. Cheers.,

What is common to use a balance on HF frequencies, and VHF frequencies is not necessary, the dipole itself when Tim correctly should be almost a 50mm resistive load. So feeding it with a length of 50 ohm is perfectly acceptable. The phasing coax or power divider coax, it's usually made from 75 ohm, either rg11, or RG6 with Copper sheld, the point where the two interconnect, can be as simple as a basic coaxial t connector. Important part is to make sure that all of the coaxes are the same length. If one cable is even a few inches longer. It will cause the signals to not be in Phase when they leave the tower. You also have a high reflected power on your meter.

If they add an option to export the Instruments as MIDI, it would be perfect, imagine being able to easily import it to a DAW and work with VSTi.

I have seen research being done on that. It is almost ready for that. So it wont be long and midi will become as common as the mp3 download. So hang in there it will come :)

That's fair. Ai music isn't for everyone. It's still early stages and Ai music will keep improving. Of course original human made music is preferable but Ai music isn't going away and it does give people who don't have the music skills the chance to play and experiment with it. But I fully get the resistance to it. Cheers

A brand new Ai Music generator has been released and is now free to create your music with. Not only is the creation of music free but the songs you create have commercial use. That means you can sell your music!!!

We run a .95 wave Norwalk vertical at just 10 watts FM can get out about13 miles the transmitter can go up to 150 watts but that is pushing to get in trouble 👿 the reflective is zero at ether output I did have a1/4 wave home built ground plane that was flat too with a bit of fiddling with it it was PVC pipe and copper tubing with the SQ soldered to it . The worst antenna was a circular polarized one it had no range at all . I sold that on eBay to a guy in NYC that could vise grip it to his fire escape to do his show then remove it . Worked great in the big city. We have a 40 foot tower out here .

Thanks for your comments. Yeah I normally would not recommend circular polarized antennas unless a very experienced and equipped person installs and maintains it. Circular can easily become a problem. If done properly circular polarized antennas can be great for built up areas and cities but other than that can be more of a problem than it's worth. Cheers.

Small note, in a large band system covering the whole FM band ( for multiple broadcast frequencies, [multiplex] ), you need large band dipoles and a coupler. Same length for all cables still applies between antenna elements and coupler to get -in phase-. The total system gain is also a factor of power loss ( insertion loss VSWR ) losses in cables, connectors, coupler, any cavity filter.

Hi. Thank you for that. It's always great to have extra input from people in the industry with your level of expertise. The vast majority of my viewers are first timers so it might be a bit over some people's heads but always great to have some extra insight. Thank you.

Can you use spotify as to conected to the radio library?
@inspiresoundpro 3 ай бұрын
If you mean you want to play the music from Spotify on your streaming station then absolutely not. You wil potentially be breaching both the user agreement of Spotify and possibly running into some serious copyright problems. This is not legal advice. I do not give legal advice but seriously don't do it. Get proper legal advice on this. Read the user agreement from Spotify and speak to a lawyer about copyright law. You could potentially be heading for some serious trouble. As I said this is not legal advice.

do you have any suggestions for actual products? im leaning towards chinese fmuser 30w transmitter/antenna kits.
@inspiresoundpro 3 ай бұрын
I unfortunately cant recommend any specific brands or models. Although I have tested some cheaper as well as broadcast level transmitters. I simply can't guarantee any brand or specific model. A rule of thumb for me is to see if the transmitter is either approved by FCC or of a quality that would be approved by the broadcast authority in your country. I don't recommend using any unlicensed transmitters. To work towards obtaining a broadcast license or operate within the law of allowed low power transmitters its always better to choose transmitters that are either approved or meet the specifications of approved transmitters in your country. Many of the transmitters will either have an FCC approved sticker on them or some sort of approval sticker from the broadcast authority of your country. Any other non approved or low spec transmitters are just a magnet for trouble. Make sure you know and abide by the laws of your country and only use approved equipment for your country. As I said in the video I don't condone any unlicensed broadcasting. Make sure if you want to broadcast that you are not breaking the laws of your country. Any broadcasting you chose to do is at your own risk and I do not recommend it or support any broadcasting that is not legally approved in your country or any other.

Save you a minute: The video suggests setting the game mode for the level and the project to "None." If you're making a game, rather than a video, that obviously won't work, but generally you can instead clear the HUD property of your game mode (or whatever other class is putting that dot there.)
@inspiresoundpro 4 ай бұрын
Ah nice to know thanks. I did try a bunch of options and found that just setting the game overide to none did the trick but I'm sure there are many other ways to get around it.The problem is that there were next to no answers to this question on Google and Unreal Engine support and zero videos about it. So I figure this should help at least have an answer available to newcomers. Thanks for your comment. Always good to have feedback :)

i might have another question: why is the wood dowl only 5 cm long. For strenght it might be better of with 10 cm?
@inspiresoundpro 4 ай бұрын
You can make the wooden dowl stick longer but it will not change the strength because the strength comes from the bolts holding the aluminum rods to the box.
