Hi Haoward,

Okay, I probably wasn't as clear in my original post as I should have been.

We bought an Inmotion bluetooth speaker from Alteclansing.  In the 
package they include a small bluetooth transmitter which plugs into a 
usb on a pc.  The point is that you're supposed to be able to listen to 
music or whatever from your pc all around the house.  It claims to be 
effective up to 300 feet.  We don't even get 30 feet as you mentioned. 
I'd never heard of bluetooth with such a range, but figured that 
Alteclansing is a reputable company so they would know what they're 
talking about.

Anyway, it almost sounds like they're actually guilty of false 
advertising when they give this extended bluetooth range for their 
little transmitter.

I've never heard of anything that has the range this thing is supposed 
to have, and guess we're stuck with it.  Just thought someone might know 
of an extended range bluetooth transmitter as I know a lot of the folks 
on this list are into all sorts of things.

Thanks anyway,

Don  w6smb
