Good, off-the-shelf FM Transmitter?

"Rick Measham"

A transmitter that did have enough power would be broadcasting music to the whole neighbourhood.

The only suggestion I have is to send the FM signal down a 75 ohm co-axial cable with taps to each receiver.

Can't help you with a ready made one. I've tried Belkin as sold by DSE - avoid it because its s*it (I got about 0.5 m out of it).

You can get a wireless video audio sender for $99. Just use the audio.

If u mean the $99 from DSE, Tandy & BigW etc..., it does not multiple receivers and may be intefered by 2.4Ghz cordless phone.

Why not stream it over the network ?

One of the entries in a recent circuit cellar contest was a internet radio receiver. Instead of using internet just use your own server Could even attach a FM radio card and stream that through the house.

Or if you have enough pc's use some thing like itunes.

You can get extra recievers for about 60 bucks. I have a 2.4GHz phone (2 in fact) + wifi + baby monitor and they are crystal clear. Only thing that plays havoc with them is the microwave oven.

Rick,

I've found you get much better range out of these these FM transmitters if you use a really long audio lead (as long as you have, mine is 10 feet or so) to attach the audio source to the transmitter.

I usually sling the long audio lead over a nearby curtain rail to improve the FM radiated power.

I think they actually use the audio lead as their antennae, which is why lengthening the lead works.
