What Frequency????

[sjb]

I have to go pick up my transmitter today  and I was wondering (I know all areas are different for FM stations), but how close of a frequency do come to an existing FM station. For instance if the lowest radio station is 96.3 do you go to 96.0 or do you go at least 1.0 (95.3) of a differance.

Thanks

I try to use one that has at least 2 blank channels on both sides. i.e 95.9 blank, 96.1 blank, USE 96.3, 96.5 blank, 96.7 blank.

 Here is a nifty tool to see what frequency is not in use in your area.

Something I ran into last year.  I have a station that popped up on the frequency I used for years.  I easily overpower it, but I plan to move to an unused one.  Therefore, I would urge anyone to check that your frequency is unused every year and make sure your tune to sign can be altered or cheap enough to replace.  Never really thought this could happen...

Yeah, I can just imagine it...people tune into your station only to hear Mmmbop playing instead of Oh Come All Ye Faithful causing all kinds of accidents in front of your house.
