Hi Jim,
I bought mine from Amazon and got free shipping. The cost was $89.00. The
transmitter does remember your frequency when the power has been
disconnected. The unit will run on anything from 10 to 14 volts and it
comes with a whip antenna and a 2.5 amp power supply that is a switching
supply. The transmitter covers anything from 76 to 108 megahertz and as I
said before you can set the power level by holding in the power button when
you apply power to the unit.
The audio inputs are 3.5 mm jacks with one for a mic line and the other for
line input. There are two level controls, one for each input jack.
The transmitter transmits in stereo and you are not supposed to use a mono
jack in the unit as it could cause damage. As to quality, it is excellent
and very low noise although I could here a very, very low AC hum that is
probably due to the switching supply that came with the unit.

Subject: Fm Transmitter
Hi Bob, there has been so much traffic about fm transmitters on
the list that I don't know where to start. Am just wondering
where you got yours and what payment method you used? Was it from
Amazon or did you order it from a Chinese source? Does it run on
self contained batteries, a wall wart or AC? How easy is it to
adjust the frequency and other settings? How do you connect an
audio source? Is it stereo? How quiet is the carrier when no
audio is being transmitted? If you unplug the power source or
take out the batteries if any, does the unit retain the frequency
you set it at? Also, what is the band coverage, the entire
commercial fm band? Sorry for the (20 questions) Jim WA6EKS
