FM Broadcast Processors

Inovonics, Orban, Omnia, Texar, CRL, Wheatstone, DEVA... I'm trying to find a good deal on a processor but these are all so expensive, even used. I know theres software that exists but I would like to use something that doesn't involve a computer to keep everything analogue. This all started because I was looking for loudness meters, but even those are expensive and hard to find. It seems that the processors are mostly all in one compression, automatic gain control, loudness meter, etc.

Does anyone have any advice?

I Need Some Help Ironing Out This Idea I Have

Okay so vintage GE, RadioShack, Yorx, Panasonic etc. clock radios peaked my autism. I played two radios at the same time on the classical station in one room and it made me incredibly happy. But I wanted to play what I wanted through them. I have a stereo system, but I hate the way bass makes the air feel. I hate high quality. I love treble and radio.

So I bought a Whole House Transmitter 3.0, A Rolls 51s something mixer, some ridiculously priced Bluetooth receiver, and like 5 more radios. I want to transmit my record player, cassette player, phone audio, and me screaming through effects processors through a large amount of vintage clock radios that I will be arranging all throughout my apartment. Every room will have at least 3 radios, maybe 8 in the living room being the highest.

I tried doing some scans with a radio today and got nervous because I live near a major metropolitan area and the FM band is extremely crowded. A stronger transmitter would not help in this case from my understanding? Should I just be learning how to solder audio in jacks and chaining these things together? How practical will this be?

The transmitter has not arrived yet. I'm trying to figure out the most vacant channel to use. And of course I want to follow all laws and not make the FCC cry like babies because I want to have some fun inside my apartment.

Clean Water Fill Line on T80S?

This is a really stupid question, but where is the fill line for the clean water? There's a clear line on the right side near the very top, and there's a marking under where the latch on the front closes. Which one is right? FILL is nowhere on the container and the manual doesn't point out the line. Is it really supposed to be filled up to the very top past the rectangular channel thing that the hose is attached to?
