SI LINK FM Transmitter
« on: February 29, 2004, 09:06:45 am »
Has any one tried this with their zaurus. It should allow you to broadcast your mp3 to the car radio or house radio on several different FM stations.

I cant get mine to work  though if i hook it to a set of speakers it works fine.

If any one has any tips it be much appreciated

I\'ve owned two FM transmitters like this.  The first was similar to the SI Link, in that it had only a set number of stations.  It worked great on road trips, but as soon as I got back into the LA area there was too much interference and all the presets were getting stepped on by local stations  

That prompted me to buy another version that allows you to manually adjust the broadcast freq across a larger swath of the FM spectrum, allowing me to always align with an empty space.  Are there local stations across, or in the middle of 88.1, 88.3, 88.5 or 88.7 MHz?

In both cases the range was extremely poor.

I use one that allows me to manually tune in the frequency.  That way I can avoid commercial broadcast frequencies.  I have noticed that the volume is quite a bit lower than regular broadcasts.  I think the model number is SF-120.  I got it a BestBuy for about $15.
