Forgive me for misdirecting this if I have -- I recall seeing a recent
query from someone who wanted to be able to broadcast over the FM band so that
he could receive his choice of music over an FM Walkman-type radio while
working on his farm. This is directed toward a possible solution or a
device applicable to that need.

This could also be applied to the net.audio submitter who wanted to feed his
TV audio through his stereo system.

I just received an ad from DECO Industries, Box 607, Bedford Hills, NY 10507
(914) 241-2827, for a device they call a "Video Simulcaster". This is designed
to pick up the TV audio from the earphone jack and retransmit it over the
FM band. It is an "easily assembled" (hmmm...:-) kit which sells for $29.95
(free shipping if prepaid). Claimed range is 300 feet -- for longer range 
operations, like the desired farm use, you could either simply illegally
amplify the output, or maybe feed it into a loop wire antenna which goes
into the fields (probably also illegal, due to that antenna's length).

I assume you could feed anything into this at audio line level, so it isn't
limited to rebroadcasting TV audio, of course.

(COD's cost $4.00 more.)

Usual disclaimer -- I never heard of these people before; just thought it
was interesting that I got their ad just after seeing a couple net
inquiries that it would apply to...

Will Martin
