got my i-pod nano through the post yesterday and i got one of them i-trip FM transmitters too so now i've got hundreds of songs in my car
it's fair to say i'm pretty happy with it at the moment love that i-trip...took a while to sort it out at first but now i've got it set up correctly it plays clear as a bell on my stereo in my room and my car
omg ist a fm transmitter :O how much and from where mate, i got a black nano thats begging for it, saves me from burning a new mp3 cd everytime i get a new track, thats well cool!
got mine from here, cost £31 and comes with a free car charger too....i nearly threw it out the window when i was trying to tune it in then FINALLY after trying for 30 mins playing with my knobs ( ) it worked perfect and now loving it....drove all around town and didn't even get a hiss or flicker of static. highly recomended, plus the one for the nano is tiny, the ipod slides onto it and makes it about double the thickness and about 4 mm longer at the bottom....but to be fair that's still tiny with the nano
just remember not to waste your space on anything more than 128k if you use the FM for all playback..... the bandwidth is limited to only 15khz (...nowadays anyway ) which is not so great even compared to a 128k mp3. sounds fine for in-car and general home stereo listening though.
The use of all radio transmitter equipment in the UK requires either a licence under the Wireless Telegraphy (WT) Act 1949 or a specific licence exemption. These devices have neither.
The FM broadcast band (87.5 – 108 MHz) is used in the UK – and other European countries – for authorised, licensed broadcasting stations. Anyone else transmitting in this band without a licence is committing an offence under section 1(1) of the Wireless Telegraphy Act. There is presently no provision to licence iTrips or similar devices in the FM broadcast band.
Devices transmitting in the broadcast band have the potential to cause interference to people trying to listen to licensed stations. For example, a short range FM transmitter in a car could cause interference to those listening to broadcasts nearby..
As above is true - but whos going to enforce it the itrip has a range of approx 10 metres and you would need an illegal transmission van to find the source - even if they heard it in the first place !!!
yeah i know they're illegal but i don't really care, as weedle said they only broadcast about 10ft and only way to pick it up would be if a police car or something just on the random offchance tuned his radio to the exact station i'm broadcasting on, in which case he'd just think it was a standard radio station, and if i got stopped i'd probably throw it in my glove box on the off chance that i get a copper who got a stick up his butt.
oh and they're re-writing the laws apparently to make these legal
