I built a Ramsey electronics tunable fm transmitter
it was explained to me that the fcc does not care about "transmitter" power
or antenna design or size
the part 15 is based on measured feild strength at some set distance from
the antenna
I have not used mine sinceI built it out of fear that the fcc will impound
and auction everthing else audio I own saying it was support gear for the 1
watt trasmitter I built(this is within thier rights as well as something
like 25,000$ fine per occourance)
it just became to risky to use

George,

You worry too much. Go ahead and try it out. Adjust it to where you
think it is supposed to be and you'll probably be legal anyway. The
FCC guys aren't sitting around waiting to bust people like you if you
are a few uV too high!

I talked to a guy who had a small transmitter for his antique radio
shop broadcasting so people in his shop could hear old Burns and Allen
and Jack Benny programs. The FCC received him up and decided he was
over powered and politely helped him re-adjust his transmitter so he
was legal. No fine. The odds of you getting a fine are probably less
than you winning the lottery.
