Jenna Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 (edited) I finnally found a FM transmitter that works...The Nexxtech USB model available at all radio shack's. I have tried probably 6 of these things and they never seemed to work. This unit locks into a station and never fades..it has a little distortion at low volume, but in a car, who really listens at low volume.I also listen to a lot of radio off my PC at home, and this works for that as well. It says it has a 10M distance but it is more like 50-70. I can drive down the street and still listen.I just put it on and it sends the signal to every radio in the house. To me this makes the MD experience soooo much better. Edited January 28, 2005 by Jenna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenna Posted January 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 29.99 Canadian. Pretty much the same price as all of the others. The really cool part is that it has a removable USB connection so you can hook it up directly to your PC.how much does it cost?← Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only ones that I can find plug into the headphone jack and either need batteries or a power cord. I've been hoping to find one that runs off of the players batteries as I assume yours does since it is USB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petertkalec Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 So how's it work from your md? It looks/reads like it's only USB... what's the grey/large-ish unit in the left of the pic in the link you posted?Even if it's USB onl, though... it would be great for sending music around the apartment... playing from the vast HD archives or streaming audio.

Jenna Posted January 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 (edited) That's the "housing for the usb connector" It is where you put the batteries or input the power cord. The Usb connector has a mini stereo input that you can hook up to any audio device.Like I said before, this thing has is very powerful. I can hear it clearly at my neigbours house if I tune the radio to the right station and I can hear it down the street as I drive. I use it for streaming audio at home all day, and NEVER lose reception. I can scan some pics if anyone wants to see more.So how's it work from your md?

RealyPssd Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Can you choose any radio frequency/station, or does it have preset ones that you have to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfflamingo Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 I have had my eye on the AudiaX Wireless FM Transmitter (DGT-201)for MP3 Players. I've seen no mentionof it in this thread, anyone have personal experience with it?Battery powered only, no USB connection, but will broadcast -anywhere- on the FM band. I only userechargable NIMH's anyway, so I' not worried about excess battery costs.Good description of it here:http://www.minidisc.com.au/product_info.ph...products_id=537Also check out other links here:http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=DGT-20...h+Froogle&hl=en- pfflamingo - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrain Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 'powerful stereo seperation' ehh? it broadcasts standard fm. i would seriously look into a model that has a car lighter option. also avoid the tunecast series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenna Posted December 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 You can choose which frequency you want. Although, I have found that it will ovverride an existing signal anyways.For the Nexxtech one, can you choose any radio frequency/station, or does it have preset ones that you have to use?

lingenfr Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 I just bought the ccrane model. As with all ccrance stuff I have purchased, it is well made and pricey. I bought the mobility kit also. I followed the directions on the Internet to crank up the output power and it works well. I live in the DC area and our dial is pretty crowded. I can put it on an open freq between two strong stations and it works like a champ. It tunes the entire FM band and does everything you need. I am not humping their product and hope you can find something that meets your need at a lower price, but if you want to make one purchase and get the job done, I don't think you can beat ccrane.

MuniAndi Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 I baught this Nexxtech USB FM transmitter. The manual was missing, and I tried my best to set it up, it didn't work. Can anyone please tell me what is the procedure. I tried listening in all channels in my radio with caution, but at one particular frequency I got very feeble and really light sound of the song I played on my PC. Tell me what frequency I should tune into.Thank you.MuniHayyyyyyyyyyyyyy I bought it its great very clear sound quality in the house (I am playing everything from my computer and can listen it on my FM radio...... you can set different frequencies.

larry_llama Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 When this is used in your computer, does it have a driver that allows it to play through the usb port or do you have to run a jumper from the computer headphone plug to the usb-key in order to transmit audio? IE does the usb port ONLY provide power?Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
