well honestly, you CAN use these transmitters to broadcast music in your house...   if your neighbors pick it up and dont mind, it's not a big deal. for example, i broadcast music with my transmitter, but in the off season, i just use the rubber ducky antenna that came with it.

I'll have to try it in the house. Outside, the interference is so bad I can't even listen in my own yard

The poblem is that if your neighbors can pick it up it is a problem from a legal standpoint and then there is the issue of intent.  If you have a light show syncronized to music and a transmitter transmitting that music then the intent is that the transmitter is being used to broadcast to others.  This is not an issue during the show because it can be considered personal use for the display but if he continues to broadcast the music aftr the show is over, then he becomes an unlicensed radio station.  For the most part that may also not be much of an issue but if he is broadcasting a good distance (as some here do) and one jerk picks it up and decides to complain .....

Just had to mention, not everyone who complains is a jerk.  The rules for interference are there for a reason, so everyone can not step on each other over a limited resource (frequency allocation).  No question some who complain are jerks, but some are not.  I think the default should be that the fact one complains, doesn't by itself make them a jerk!

Back to your regularly scheduled program.

this past year, and even currently. i play music using my computer that broadcasts through the transmitter that i can pickup on a radio in the kitchen, or bedrooms via a radio. this would actually be safer since i'm using the transmitter for it's intended purpose. to broadcast locally to avoid running wires.

Now, for a side note, i do have a ground plane antenna that i use with the transmitter for shows, but I try to contain it's broadcast abilities so i don't become a radio station for the whole city.

For sequencing, when setting up for halloween last year I had NO halloween songs sequenced 2 weeks before the 31st....

I bought songs from the net sequenced for LOR and imported them into LSP. It didn't matter that I had those exact channels and equipment or not. I used their channel cues to point to where I needed to make changes to my light setup. All-in-all it worked pretty well. I got 10 songs done in the time it would usually take to do 3-5.

I wish I had your radio setup, though. I should have put more cash into the transmitter than I did.
