I have the wholehouse fm transmitter and love it.
However, the first version only works from 106 to 108 mhz, freq selectable 
via dip switches.
New version has better coverage, but selectable on an lcd screen.
You'll need site to set it up.
I get good reception all over my house with mine.
I have the original version.
Hope this helps somewhat.
