I apparently posted this in the wrong section. Although the guys there helped alot and I thank them for that but I'll still post it here again since it is a more appropriate section.
We have this mini radio station running for purposes I don't really need to mention here. We are using a FM transmiter which has according to its specs a maximum output power of ~340 watts. They have it set at about 282, and according to the users it covers 8 km radius. Now, I'm not into this, but I have been given the task of increasing this range. I don't remember the antenna gain out of the top of my head. They want to increase it to 100 km!
So, what are my options? Get a more powerful transmiter with the approriate gain antenna and fix it in a high enough place and call it a day?
The system they are using is MIZAR FM system.
In the other thread you can see that I posted an offer from one company I contacted and I'd like to know if it is good for what I want to achieve.
This is the other post: https://www.electro-tech-online.com/threads/mini-fm-radio-station-need-more-range.114275/
