What the thread found

• Canatrans transmitters have received consistent praise for reliability and customer service availability
• The Modulus 4000 did not reach production and remained a prototype that most users never saw in person
• Modulus 3000 units were no longer being manufactured as of 2008 and spare parts became difficult to obtain
• Customer support for Modulus systems was reported as inconsistent and unreliable after purchase
• Cramped Attic transmitters function as plug-and-play replacements for Modulus units with modern design improvements
• Measured transmitter output power varies significantly by model: Dynawave at 0.13-0.15W, Modulus 3000 at 0.18-0.2W, and Canatrans at 0.42-0.65W at 1W setting
• Range performance directly correlates with transmitter power output when operating on clear channels
• Channel interference from external sources such as nearby digital television transmitters can cut transmission range by approximately half
• MiniSpy transmitters achieve superior range due to single-channel design on a dedicated frequency but are not suitable for commercial use in the United States
• Some users found the Canatrans more expensive than comparable alternatives without proportional improvements in picture quality

Depends on

• Measurements were conducted in northern Mexico rather than under typical operational conditions
• The discussion dates to 2008 and equipment availability may have changed significantly since then
• Several participants reported opinions about customer service rather than systematic evaluation
• Whether the Modulus 4000 was truly vaporware or encountered development delays remains unclear from the discussion
• Frequency regulations and legality of equipment use vary by country and have changed since 2008
