looks good I might have to get one

I had something like this to link up my ipod to my car stereo via FM... it sucked monkeys balls... http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/itrip/

perhaps because of its size was the reason it didn't work too well.... might be worth testing out first.

Cool :thumbsup Who wants to buy me one? :Graucho

very cool

Arent those illegal in the US?

I made a BLack Box in Highschool.

The police took it away and I was suspended...

Why would they be illegal?

These devices have enormous potential for advertising.

Hook one of these up to a laptop and go for a drive in traffic hour.
Have a head set and script and sme music, tune it to popular radio station channel and oops...

Thasa vilation of the FCC code!:)

I am not sure, but the FCC does not like this kinda thing.
I broadcasted from my house for a couple weeks and was umm...

Well just scolded basically.
I swore all kinds of profanities and people were getting it. I thought it was funny.

It was one of those situations as kid growing up where you realise that everything comes down to money. Breaking into FM signal's to over ride a conglomerates liscensed bradcast signal is a bad thing. Even when messing around but it helped me realise early on that essentially your a caged animal in society and the rules are set for you to lose at every corner.

The range on this thing is only 150feet, its not like we are taking over the airwaves here

Cool toy

Got this today, Arcadia Pirate Radio is on the air!

This thing rocks, I can transmit mp3s to all the radios around my house from my laptop!

YARGH! I be lovin' pirate radio. I may be a bit biased though.

The FCC limits standard FM radio frequency transmitters to a very low power, so they are legal. Not supposed to interfere with commercial broadcasts though. "Mr. Microphone," a cheap heavily-TV-advertised toy from the 70s, was just a microphone with low-power transmitter. Great for pranks and passive aggression against shared-wall neighbors or people working outside with a radio blaring. Technically the content of the broadcast is still restricted as well, so saying "fuck" would be illegal even at low power, though the FCC doesn't have roving agents triangulating on every stray signal, and it would take a sustained/oft-repeated violation to attract their attention.
