I wouldn't go with the CCrane, it isn't that good compared to some other 
products, at least for the price.

WholeHouseFM makes a decent transmitter, not quite as powerful as the 
Veronica, but it does meet FCC part 15 specs.  You can receive it strongly 
throughout the average house.

However, if one is just transmitting within a car, any of those iPod FM 
transmitters will work since you aren't going to be more then five feet from 
the car radio.

You might have better luck with a C. Crane fm transmitter.  I think they cost 
around eighty dollars, but they're worth the cost.  You might also try a 
cassette
adapter that's used for portable CD players.On Sat, 29 Nov 2008
