Transmitter Advisories:
ATTENTION: We recently were able to contact Mr. Thomas Webb of TAW-Global, the US distributor of the Whole House FM transmitter. It does appear the manufacturer had been issued an FCC ID number (QKQRF-2001) for the transmitter being marketed as the Whole House FM Transmitter Gold.

To date we have been unable to confirm that the Drive-By Broadcaster and Radio House Tour FM Transmitters also marketed by TAW Global are compliant with FCC Part 15 regulation applicable to these devices. All pre-assembled Part 15 FM transmitters sold in the United States must be certified and have their FCC ID number prominently affixed and visible on the transmitter.
