There are such products sold in the US (as I understand, the law here allows
extremely low-power radio transmission without any licensing), but they per-
form *very* poorly.  I've vented in detail previously on this list, so here's
the short version: it's difficult enough to find a quiet FM frequency, but
when you do, the accursed things drift terribly.  They need to be retuned
every few seconds, making it very hard to enjoy the music or to stay alive in
traffic.  When you do get it tuned in, the signal is weak, uneven, and laden
with static (but only for a few seconds: then the transmitter drifts and
there's no sound at all).

If your car audio system has an auxiliary input jack, use it.  Next best, if
it has a cassette deck, use a cassette adaptor.  My own car has just a radio,
so while I'm driving I listen to broadcasts, anathematic as that act may be
to many here.

MD: Buying a MZ-R900 transmitters

2001-02-09 Thread Keith Whitfield


I found this unit on a uk web site for 198.46 and that includes VAT and
free delivery. I can't wait till it arives.

Does such a product exsist that allows me to transmit the output of the MD
to a normal radio (UK fm frequency) I want to tune it into the car radio. I
can build Fm transmitters but 1) there not allowed  2) the frequency
responce is a bit low (not much good for anything over normal talking)

thanks in advance
Keith
