What We Like

1. Compact structure and attractive appearance;

2. Humanized protection functions;

3. Simple and convenient operation;

4. Practical SWR scanning function;

5. Powerful audio transmission performance.

First Impression

After I unpacked the box, the appearance of the FU-1000C attracted me. Its front is very simple. On the left is a huge cooling fan air intake window, in the middle is a USB interface, and on the right is a display screen and a tuning button. It seems that all operations are finished with the tuning button. 

Its back is completely different from the front. In addition to the power key and four exhaust windows, its back is also equipped with a lot of expansion interfaces, including an RDS interface, RDS volume adjustment button, XLR seat audio input interface, RS232 interface, and dual lotus audio input interface.

It shows that FU-1000C supports stereo audio input and subcarrier input, which is necessary for professional radio stations. 

In addition, its heat dissipation performance looks very excellent.

Moreover, it looks so compact that it’s hard to imagine how many functions the FM stereo transmitter can be equipped with.

Power On

I tried to power on FU-1000C without connecting with the antenna (NOTE: Ensure to connect with the FM antenna when using the FM radio transmitter). I found that its screen display that it is in the protection mode, and I couldn’t do anything. 

This protection function is a surprise for me. I have never seen such a protection function design on the traditional FM broadcast transmitter! It helps to avoid the accident of FM radio transmitter damage caused by without connection with the FM antenna.

Then, we reconnect the FU-1000C with the FM antenna and power it on. Its display shows the current working state of the machine, including the real working frequency, output power, working temperature, and some other parameters.

Adjustable Setting Options

These parameters of the FU-1000C 1KW FM radio transmitter mentioned above can be adjusted one by one by rotating and pressing the tuning button. If you rotate the tuning button clockwise, you will see these 14 options in turn on the screen:

 

Among them, I am most impressed by these 5 options:

Frequency Set – It allows the user to adjust the working frequency from 87.0 MHz to 108.0 MHz, and it is in steps of 50.0 kHz.

 

RF On / Off and Real Power – You can switch on or turn off the transmission status of the FU-1000C, that is, whether to transmit radio signals. Moreover, the transmitting power is adjustable from 0 – 1000 watts.

 

Temp Set – The protection temperature range can be set here, which is adjustable from 50-75 ℃. At the same time, it also displays the real-time working temperature of the FM broadcast transmitter.

 

Log Set – FU-1000C also provides a log record query, which records the alarm and usage status of the FM radio transmitter up to now, which contains alarm time, alarm number, the total number of alarms, alarm type, working time, temperature, SWR and transmitting power.

 

Scan Set – It is such a practical function. The FM broadcast transmitter would scan the standing wave of the whole frequency band and shows 3 frequency points with the lowest standing wave value.

 

It can be seen that FU-1000C 1 KW FM transmitter provides many adjustable settings to better meet the different broadcasting needs of different broadcasting providers.

In addition, the operation of the tuning button makes me feel very pleasant and comfortable. It is surprising that so many parameters options can be set quickly with simple pressing and rotation.

Sound quality

We tested the audio transmission performance of the FU-1000C 1KW FM transmitter in a country town without high-rise buildings. 

I temporarily made it work with the output power of 100 watts, the frequency with VSWR of 1.5:1, and connected a simple FM dipole antenna with it. In addition, I use a USB as the sound source of the FM stereo transmitter, which stores my favorite songs.

After a few minutes of setting up, we drove to a place about 10 kilometers away, and we could still listen to the clear songs without noise. It is an encouraging result!

This also shows that the excellent audio parameters of the transmitter are real, such as only 0.02% distortion, up to 70dB signal-to-noise ratio, 60dB stereo separation, etc.
