Retekess FT11 FM Transmitter, Portable FM Broadcast Transmitter (Black)

Absolutely an amazing device! Clarity was great and range really surpassed my expectations. I will say objects can cause some interference with range, but absolutely great overall! Right out of the box I ran this device for over 8 hours and though the battery was low, it still had battery available! Great buy for the money! I was able to keep the device portable because of the compact design!

I got this to replace a FM Transmitter we have had for 14 years, which finally died. This cost 1/2 of what a replacement for our original transmitter cost and works every bit as good, if not maybe a smidge better. It is also 1/2 the size of our old transmitter. The FT11 is very easy to use, I had it transmitting about 5 minutes after unpacking. The only thing I don't know is how long will it last, and only time will answer that question... If you are looking for a simple to use House FM Transmitter I don't think you will find a better deal than this one.

I really like this thing! I use this FM Transmitter with the TF card option during the holidays to play seasonal music to as atmosphere to holiday displays. I sometimes use is in my work truck so I can play my music any where I go. The FM Transmitter has a lot of other features though I generally don't use them, so I can't vouch for how well they function. The device it self has decent clarity of signal and a much greater range than I thought originally (as it goes half a block or so). The battery life has been around 3 hours. But plugin in the charging port I have gotten over 8 hour of playtime! HOWEVER, My biggest complaint is that the unit will sometimes revert to the CHINESE language suddenly and totally. Everything is in CHINESE. As I don't speak CHINESE at all, this is a problem. I suspect I have hit some combination or some magic button that instantaneously turn every word in to CHINESE. I wish I knew what I am doing but I have had the FM transmitter revert to CHINESE a few times now and it is frustrating. But, I saved the instructions and if you very, VERY carefully follow the menu STRUCTURE (as everything is in CHINESE at this point) you can find the option that will change the language of the FM Transmitter from CHINESE into English. I would keep the instructions handy for this reason. If this fm transmitter would stop showing CHINESE this would be a Five-Star review. All-in-All It is a really great item for adding more Happy to the Holidays! Recommend!! *Highly Recommended if you can speak CHINESE!!

Absolutely incredible product! It's small enough to fit in your pocket. Transmits audio and a microphone to the radio. I use mine to run my mobile drive-in theatre, and it works flawlessly. I love this product so much, that the urge to buy another one, even though the original product is in perfect working order, (just in case) is strong. I do not understand how anyone could possibly be disappointed in this product. From the quality, to the price, what else do you need in a perfect product?

Used it for about 2 weeks. It worked , but I set it to 91.5, it took over the 91.3 radio station for a good 200 feet, taking out that station for possibly 20 houses. I accidently dropped it while trying to get a different station that wouldn't interfere. It stopped working. Only 1 drop while in my possession. It was at most a 3 foot drop. Very sad, worked hard to get my Christmas display up and can't find another transmitter to get delivered before the season. No more music this year.

There are a lot of things to like about this device. - It is small compared to almost any other FM transmitter in its class And has a rechargeable 2000mAH battery that will power it for around 6 hours or more - The antenna screws into a reverse type SMA connector that may require an adapter to connect to regular SMA connectors - Using the SD card to play songs from can eliminate any hum problems as does the digital link over USB and you can set Random mode in SD play - The unit has a builtin mic you have to yell into to be heard and a separate mic input and comes with the external mic as well - It has a setting for Preemphasis of 75uS or 50uS. 75uS is used in the US but after trying both settings I can't hear any difference for whatever that is worth. - The overall sound quality is excellent, and hum free (actually best to keep antenna away from your other electronic equipment - like on the roof). - Lastly I measured the power output on this and found it was outputting 0mW on setting 0 and 1, then 230mW on setting 2, and 210mW on setting 3. I got so curious I bought a second one and measured it: - The second one outputs 0mW on 0, 191mW on 1, 330mW on 2 and 365mW on 3. Kind of nonsensically spaced power levels. So if you are trying to follow FCC rules - measure the power out of this thing and make sure it is under 100mW before connecting an outside antenna. - If you use the little antenna that comes with it, it is tuned for 91MHz +- 1MHz, and is a terrible antenna for the rest of the FM band - Controlling the device is dirt simple using the intuitive keypad Cons: - Did I mention it comes with a terrible antenna? - You won't know how much power it puts out unless you measure it.

So what I think I'm figuring out here is this thing that had great coverage like almost a thousand feet it was awesome and then it started getting cold out and I do projection shows and it started getting crappy you had to be like right up on it to get a clear signal I'm very upset pisses me off at work fine but the cold weather does affect it guys and it doesn't recover. Okay so I have an update I'm posting this on here that the company has given me a full refund and that to me tells me that the company is serious about their product and I think I may end up buying another one maybe because it could have just been a fluke or could have been something I did who knows but the company has stand behind their product and giving me a full refund and to me that tells me the company serious so I'll definitely look into their future models because FM transmitters are always a necessity what I do when it comes to these projection shows

We have found that this little inexpensive transmitter has a range of about a block in all directions (about 600 feet). It can be hung from a belt or the wrist. The included lavalier microphone does not distort the voice of the speaker. Apart from the microphone port there is a port allowing input of music and other audio files streamed on other devices such as an android or iphone. The quality of the original recording is not lost. We use three of these transmitters for our outdoor church services during the pandemic, one for the pastor, one for another speaker, such as the liturgist, and one for previously recorded music (hymns, anthem, prelude, postlude etc). The transmitter is very light, and its size means that speakers are not forced to stand in one place. We initially considered much more sophisticated broadcasting options but we are very satisfied with this simple and effective setup.
