Main use is on AM and for that I'm using the venerable SSTRAN AMT3000 kit.
The FM one was an ebay purchase so I'll have to go look up the details. My place is almost like a Faraday cage - something to do with either the stone or there's tons of rebar in the walls. For example I've got a industry grade wifi access point installed that claims throughput of up to 1GB and range of 300metres. When I go the other side of the wall from where it's mounted, the signal drops to less than 10%
I did some range tests in the car and FM reaches to the end of the garden so the only risk is some neighbours on one side of me. Since I use a blank frequency I'm not likely to interfere with anything. As I mentioned there are no AM broadcasts here but again the most that would happen is the same neighbours would be impacted as the range is about the same as on FM.
