2.0 out of 5 stars Stereo?, November 30, 2008

By	Smart Shopper - See all my reviews

The manufacturer's web site says this is not capable of stereo. "Awesome" review? No one cares that it's mono? I see no mention of stereo, but shouldn't it be mentioned in the description, maybe in BOLD RED LETTERS, that this is mono only?

5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME!, June 22, 2008

By	DAGCO "ELECTRONICS GURU" - See all my reviews

I LIVE IN A 30 YEAR OLD HOME AND BOUGHT THE TRANSMITTER TO "HIT" THE 3 SETS OF SPEAKERS I HAVE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE. THE HOUSE IS OVER 3000 SQ FOOT AND THIS TRANSMITTER HAS NO PROBLEM REACHING ANYWHERE THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE, OR ALMOST MY WHOLE PROPERTY (2 ACRES)! I CAN GET A SIGNAL IN MY VAN OVER 400 FT AWAY FROM THE MOBILE BLACK BOX INSIDE! I ALSO USE THIS IN MY CAR AND IT WORKS AS EXPECTED. IT HAS A MICROPHONE INPUT, SO WE'LL BE USING IT WHEN WE TRAVEL TO BROADCAST TO THE WHOLE CARAVAN! WHAT A PERFECT WAY!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent coverage at full power, but a mono signal., February 9, 2009

By	Audio Guy in NC - See all my reviews

At its full power of 200mw, I get coverage of my small home and deck with a good signal. I don't have a multistory house so I can't say how it would do in that case.

Pros:
1. adjustable power output from 0 to 200mw
2. coverage of small foot print house like mine is very good---might be same for a larger house with multiple stories.
3. everything you need comes in the box: whip antenna, power brick, car cigarette lighter power plug.
4. digital display showing: power output and frequency you are on.
5. power adjustable via up/down pb
6. frequency setting is digital--no drift! -- via up/down pbs for the entire FM band, not just a segment of the FM band.
7. I think the sound quality is very good.

cons:
No stereo, but at a 200mw or less power, unless you're on top of the transmitter, a stereo signal would have lots of noise anyway. Mono channels are always low noise at low power.

Other:
The unit is credit card small, very light weight, plastic case. The digital display will go out after a few seconds so that in operation, the unit is 'dark' except for the small blue power on LED on the side of the unit...see the picture. The power jack, and the audio jack are on the same side--the left as you view the digital display. And the antenna jack is on the left as well.

Overall: This is a good product. The case is black plastic. I've used other lower power FM units and find this one to be very good step up indeed. The digital display, digital tuning--no drift--, are excellent technical features. Caution: If you must have stereo, but want larger range, go for a higher powered product..but you will then end up covering your neighborhood. I use this in a 'fixed location' plugged into the AC, so I can't say how it would do in a car or on battery power.
