1 Not to be used in large cities or college towns.
Basically, this thing has a really weak transmitter. I tried using this indoors with both a Denon receiver and a cheaper Sony receiver. Nothing came through on those receivers, though the TuneCast was able to interfere with a couple stations. Sadly, there was even less audible on the frequencies with no stations.

Fortunately, I did find a frequency in my car, and the Alpine head unit was able to pick up a signal. I was able to use it for a while... the static wasn't too bad. However, as soon as I drove within range of any other signals, no matter how weak they were, the TuneCast was totally overridden. This thing probably needs about 10 dB of gain to be a viable transmitter, even for a range of 10 feet.

Quite simply, check your airwaves for 88.1, .3, .5. and .7. If you're in a large city or college town, those frequencies are probably littered with college radio or public access stations... no matter how weak they are, they will dominate this guy.

Avoid this. The Griffin iTrip works reasonably well, and is a better allocation of your hard-earned funds.

2 Static, static, static
I have to agree that the static is terrible on this transmitter. I, too, do not know whether they're all like this, but I have to assume that the fact that transmitters continue to sell means that they're not. If you tap this thing even a little, the signal gets lost. If I'm not actually holding it in my hand (very safe while driving, really), the static is so bad, it's inaudible. I listen to audiobooks during my 2 hour commute, but mostly nowadays, I listen to static.

Avoid this product. Spend the extra $10 to get one that works.

3 Not bad if you like static to go with your digital music
I have not used any other FM transmitters, so maybe they all do this and I'm just ignorant. Basically, the thing is always staticky. I have to turn the volume way up on my RCA Lyra for the radio to get reception, and then the signal is weak, so the volume on the radio has to be cranked too. The result is that any impurities in the FM signal are magnified and it sounds terrible. I have tried new batteries. I have tried several cars. I have tried all four selectible frequencies in various cities across the country. I have tried every position imaginable. I just can't make the static go away. I don't know about the newer generation products, but I would avoid this one.

The Commandments of the EE:



 (9)	Trifle thee not with radioactive tubes and substances lest thou

	commence to glow in the dark like a lightning bug, and thy wife be

	frustrated and have not further use for thee except for thy wages.

(10)	Commit thou to memory all the words of the prophets which are

	written down in thy Bible which is the National Electrical Code,

	and giveth out with the straight dope and consoleth thee when

	thou hast suffered a ream job by the chief electrician.

(11)	When thou muckest about with a device in an unthinking and/or

	unknowing manner, thou shalt keep one hand in thy pocket.  Better

	that thou shouldest keep both hands in thy pockets than

	experimentally determine the electrical potential of an

	innocent-seeming device.





Bypasses are devices that allow some people to dash from point A to

point B very fast while other people dash from point B to point A very

fast.  People living at point C, being a point directly in between, are

often given to wonder what's so great about point A that so many people

from point B are so keen to get there and what's so great about point B

that so many people from point A are so keen to get _____there.  They often

wish that people would just once and for all work out where the hell

they wanted to be.
