Consider one of the better antennas from our website or any of the ones listed under accessories (do check those out).
Difference between models of PCI MAX 2007+:
The only difference between different models is output power. Cards typically output up to and over 3000mW. Operation at highest power level requires a case fan blowing onto the output transistor heatsink (from the side). Failure to use such a fan prevents the unit to reach full power as the temp. protection starts to reduce the power. Such a fan is recommended for all versions starting at 1W and going up.
A number of accesories is available for these cards, making it possible to:
- a selection of various antennas for best range
- amplifiers to increase your range
- accesories for stand alone operation without the PC, cases, LCD displays, power supplies
- Y audio adapters, F to BNC RF adapters and other small items
You can check-out the accesories for PCI MAX card here.
Check this page for more information. Basically it displays station name and sometimes song name (if supported by transmitter) and similar information on a compatible radio receiver. Very popular in Europe, less so in the US. To enable RDS functionality you need to purchase and install RDS daughter board. It plugs into a socket on the PCI MAX 3000+ board.
What kind of antenna should I use?
A small convenient antenna is provided free of charge. This will work fine for your flat or office and may even cover a small property. You can even use this small antenna with any version of PCI max, even the 3W, but set it to low output power. To really crank up the power and range you need a decent antenna, such as the GP type listed below on this page.
PCI MAX comes with one phones 3.5 stereo socket, used for audio input. You may want to split this audio input and send it as well to the speakers. There is a good chance that this item will come handy so it makes sense to invest those few euros/dollars.
Standard antenna output on the PCI MAX board is F female connector. You may want to change this to BNC. Our F to BNC convertor does this in a space efficient, cheap and elegant way without any unnecessary cabling. May come handy.
