Purchasing an FM transmitter antenna is a big investment. You must take time to find the right dealer who has the capabilities and knowledge necessary for the proper installation of the system. The amount spent on a new system will usually yield return on your investment within a few years. If you are interested in protecting your AM radio reception and have the budget for it, you should consider purchasing a complete system from a trusted FM transmitting antenna dealer.

The first thing to consider is where you want to locate the antenna. Keep in mind that if you are in a rural area you should expect a weaker signal strength. Likewise if you live in an urban area the power density of the signal can be much higher. This is why most FM transmitter antenna will use the strongest signal available in the area they are located.

I recommend that you do some research online before you make any purchase. Read at least two or three reviews of the type of system you are interested in. You will be able to get a feel for how reliable they are as well as their customer service and other dealings with other users. You should never buy a piece of equipment that has been shined up only to have problems a few months after purchasing.

The next step is to decide on a FM transmitter antenna frequency. You need to pick a frequency that closely reflects what you wish to broadcast. Remember that the quality of your transmission depends heavily on the power of the signal. Try to pick a frequency that has enough power for your needs. You don't want to pick a frequency with too little power and not enough transmitters to provide you with an excellent signal.

Finally, you will need to determine how you will position your FM transmitter antennas. Many amateurs prefer to have the antennas placed on their roof, since the transmission strength is much stronger there. Others place the antenna on a pole in their yard or in a nearby tree. You can decide which method you will go with, but you need to be sure that you understand all of the pros and cons of each method before you make your decision.
