Hi Jim.
Snap!  I got mine yesterday; magic, isn't it?
Regarding your question.  My brother, who has had one for a few months, 
advised me to tune my radio into an area between stations, then locate a 
screw hole on the base of the Veronica and turn the screw slowly, until the 
signal is picked up in the radio.  Probably a job for two people if your 
radio or tuner is some distance from the transmitter.  Best try a quiet song 
so you can tune it in closer, if you know what I mean.  Get back if you 
experience problems.  Incidentally, I ventured into my garden with a radio 
and managed to get about 100 feet before loosing the signal.  The batteries 
in the radio are quite low so I'm going to repeat the exercise with new 
batteries.

Best wishes.
Andy from sunny Kilcreggan.

Hi
I have recently purchased a Veronica 50mw FM transmitter enclosed in a 
case.

I am trying to work out how to change its transmission frequency.
Help welcomed!

Hi

Thanks for your tips.

I have now managed to tune my unit into the frequency I wanted.
It did take quite a bit of trial and error though.  The adjustment of the
screw is very sensitive.
I also felt more comfortable  powering  off the unit each time I made an
adjustment.

I am only using it within my apartment at the moment and it sounds just fine
without the external antenna fixed.

Jim

Hi 

Before messing around with an external Ariel why don't you remove the
top of the box and inside you will find two pots, if you turn these
clockwise it will boost the signal and give you more range and volume.

Re: Veronica FM Transmitter frequency changing

Jim and Andy,

We have our Veronica plugged into the sound card of my computer.  We
chose a cd we know well and used it to test the transmitter after we
chose the quiet spot.  The cd we chose was one of the Tim-Life 1970's
set.  we chose I Remember You by Frank Ifield (spelling)?.  We first
got a very quiet spot on the radio dial, then tuned for speaker
separation.  The song has good separation and bass response so we got
an excellent signal which hasn't had to be adjusted in over 3 years.
Sometimes the lead wires get covered by papers on my desk; so when  it
starts getting fuzzy I spread the leads out and that takes care of it.
I bought the transmitter without the case and a friend mounted it for
me.
