HI Folks, 

This is only for all you electronic techs out there that like to play. 
NOTE:Do this Mod at your own Risk. Neither XMFAN.COM or Wireman are holding
a gun to your head to perform this mod. This mod and data is for
Educational Purposes only. 


This simple mod will let you increase the range of the CCrane FM Stereo
transmitter. 


Easiest Way: 
Simply peel off the sticker on the bottom of the transmitter. The larger
hole at the top left will give you the same access to the VR2 without
having to take apart the transmitter. 

 

You can remove the label on the back with the radio specs and find the
little hole and adjust VR2 though the hole in the case. 

Locate the VR2 pot just to the top left of the Antenna connection. (See
attached Picture below) 

Using a small screwdriver rotate this pot control to the right 1/4 turn
(Clockwise). Be carful not to break it by turning too far. 
(See attached picture for location details) 
The picture shows what VR2 looks like before the MOD has been done. 


After I did the MOD. the range went from 20 feet to 100 feet. 

That's all that's to it. 

Have Fun
