To be clear the C Crane transmitter is all in one plug and play as are may of the others on the net.
The "Whole House FM Transmitter 3.0" all though I have not used it, seems to get good some good reviews from those that have. It is somewhat more expensive with a street price of a little over $100 dollars. Either of theses would be plug and play. Then there are units like these that while are clearly not legal for use in the US, are plug and play with a fair amount of power. |

Panaxis made a nice Transmitter and MPX combo, the FME- actually plans and kits, but nice indeed. We had one for Church - used it to reach the ladies in the nursery so they could hear the audio from the service. An old Ham in the church built it and installed it.
I dunno if they are still around. They show up on fleabay for $$.

I have no idea if you can find them anymore, but years ago I picked up one of these at an electronics surplus store. The audio is fantastic and the transmit power is very very good. https://www.cnet.com/products/entemp...m-transmitter/

100-mw or less FM monophonic transmitters may still be available (I used one as the FM side of a 100-mw AM radio station I had in the early '70s, before I got my amateur radio license), but I have never seen or heard of any kind of low-power stereo FM transmitter. I am not sure stereo FM is even allowed under the FCC's Part 15 rules for unlicensed AM or FM transmitters, although I can't see why it wouldn't be; after all, the FCC is only concerned with the transmitter's output power, not with the format of the signal (AM, FM or stereo FM) and, of course, the program material carried over that signal, with at least one exception. The exception is this: Even at 0.1 watt (100 milliwatts), the FCC's indecency rules still apply. Don't try to broadcast an underground radio program using all manner of indecent language or content and expect to get away with it for any length of time.

12 bucks and done - shipping included. Just add a well-filtered 5VDC wall wart and an audio source via the 3.5mm jack. If you get some 60/120 Hz hum, ground it good.
http://www.banggood.com/BH1417-200M-...l?rmmds=search Got one a while back, still have mine in the shop, unconnected, No Antenna needed, and sounds a lot better than my previous 1995-vintage Ramsey FM-10.
