You can get those iPod FM transmitters almost anywhere electronics are sold,
Best Buy, Radio Schlock, or numerous on-line merchants.

If anyone finds out where to get one of these things, let me know.
Dave's e-mail suggests Walmarts, so I'll check the next time I get over
there.

>> Hi Tom,
>> I am responding to your inquiry on the Blind Hams List.
>> I don't have a VR Stream as of yet but plan to get one after the new
>> year.
>> I do have a suggestion regarding distributing the audio in your
>> vehicle.
>> There are various devices under FCC part15 that would fit your
>> purposes.
>> Part15 devices as I'm sure you know require no license and are
>> confined to
>> limited
>> transmit range. They are available on the fm or am bands. The fm
>> units are
>> the most prevalent.
>> I use a device that was obtained from one of the WallMart type stores
>> by a
>> friend. He bought a bunch of them for a project at his work. He
>> needed to
>> distribute
>> broadcast audio in a heavily shielded office building. I bought one
>> of his
>> extra devices.
>> They go under the name Monster and cost about $60. The "Monster"
>> transmitter is about six inches long consisting of a tubular plastic
>> housing
>> with cables
>> protruding out of either end. One cable terminates in a standard
>> eighth
>> inch stereo male jack while the other end terminates in a standard
>> automotive
>> cigarette lighter plug. All you would need to do is apply automotive
>> power,
>> plug in the Stream, select the frequency and you are good to go.
>> As far as accessibility the Monster is blind friendly. The frequency
>> is
>> selected by pressing a button located at one end of the unit. The
>> transmitter
>> ranges throughout the educational portion of the fm band from 88.1
>> through
>> 91.9MHZ. The unit is digital and it is easy to find an empty
>> frequency and
>> zero in. The transmitter will retain its frequency settings even if
>> power
>> is removed.
>> I use the transmitter to send audio from my computer around my house.
>> It
>> works extremely well and in my opinion it's well worth the price.
>> I hope this helps. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
