(More customer reviews)Basically, this thing has a really weak transmitter. I tried using this indoors with both a Denon receiver and a cheaper Sony receiver. Nothing came through on those receivers, though the TuneCast was able to interfere with a couple stations. Sadly, there was even less audible on the frequencies with no stations.
Fortunately, I did find a frequency in my car, and the Alpine head unit was able to pick up a signal. I was able to use it for a while... the static wasn't too bad. However, as soon as I drove within range of any other signals, no matter how weak they were, the TuneCast was totally overridden. This thing probably needs about 10 dB of gain to be a viable transmitter, even for a range of 10 feet.
Quite simply, check your airwaves for 88.1, .3, .5. and .7. If you're in a large city or college town, those frequencies are probably littered with college radio or public access stations... no matter how weak they are, they will dominate this guy.
Avoid this. The Griffin iTrip works reasonably well, and is a better allocation of your hard-earned funds.
