Chez Radio Procaster - one year later

We ran an announcement for the new Chez Radio Procaster Low Power AM Transmitter a little over a year ago so we decided to follow up and see how folks like it after a year in the wild.

Customer Service
"I was ready to order the Procaster and had a few questions so I went ahead and emailed the company this Saturday. I was pleasantly surprised to get a quick, concise response on Sunday! Overall I was impressed with the companies speed of response and their straight forward answer."

Upon Arrival
The included mounting hardware, adequate cable, transmitter, studio to get me going, the TX (natch), the connection box with regulated 12V power supply, all the mounting hardware, and a surprisingly sturdy and easy-to-tune antenna.

Range
1/4 mile from the house, I was hearing everything like it was a commercial station. At 1 mile, everything was still strong and listenable then at 1-1/8 mile, it started to deterioate. I'm thinking if I really tuned this thing, it would probably push 1.5 miles
