I have their cheaper stereo model (i dont see it on their website anymore), probably costed me 30ドル. I didnt bother to put a case on it, just hung it at the back of the computer. For power supply i just used a typical 9v wall wart from some other device. for receiving I only use a portable FM/SW sony or sangean radio (mono). I had to re tune it once the past year (screw-in potentiometer). The radio's I use have digital tuners so its good enough for those portables. The only other transmitter I have tried is the "CC Radio" Transmitter, but when i got it it transmitted to only a few feet (10 feet?) but people have hacked into it increasing its range, but havent really tried it out, i sent it back after a day (http://www.ccrane.com/fm-transmitter.aspx). epike ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
