Steve, I have a question regarding your newer C Crane transmitter. I
still have a C Crane transmitter which is perhaps ten years old and
still functions. One thing I found frustrating about this transmitter is
that the lowest possible frequency was 88.3. I really would like the
option to transmit at 87.5 if desired. Can the newer C Crane transmitter
do that?
Thanks.

Tom,
I recently purchased two of the C. Crane transmitters. They both still had the
screw to adjust power although they are a little harder to get to. However, in
the case of both of my transmitters, they were set to the maximum already. An
older transmitter that I had purchased definitely benefited by turning up the
adjustment. It is possible they are being a little less conservative now, with
the power setting. Also, the newer C. Crane transmitters reduced the digital
noise that was present in the first digital versions. I have been happy with
my C. Crane transmitters although I did clip a longer wire to the antenna.
I also bought another transmitter from Amazon that could transmit at 100 MW or
one watt. However, when I looked just now I did not find it. Unfortunately,
the low power setting seemed very much higher than 100 MW. It was a good
transmitter and very quiet, but it had enough output at the low power setting
that the signal would get into devices close by making them misbehave. That
transmitter had a capacitor or something that went out after a year or so that
generated a lot of noise in the audio. Also, some of its settings are accessed
through a sort of menu with which one has to be careful. There are a number of
transmitters on Amazon, but some claim a power of .05W which would be pretty
low. There are some that are a watt or more, but besides being illegal, you
may find that much power will disrupt other devices as I did.
Good luck.
Best regards,
Steve Jacobson

Subject: [all-audio] FM Transmitters: Looking For One On The Order Of C-Crane
But Has More Power
Hello list: Does anyone know of an FM Transmitter that works on the order
of the ones that C-Crane sells; only thing: I need it to have a little more
power than what C-CCrane has right out of the box! It used to be that the
ones that C-Crane sold had a screw that you could turn, making it more
powerful! But then I hear that they fixed it so that this no longer could
be done! My old C-Crane unit (or so it would appear) has given up the
ghost; often, I'll want to listen to something from my computer, but want to
be in the kitchen or someplace away from the computer! Hopefully there is
something out there that'll do what I need it to do.but won't drain my bank
account too much!
Thanks for any info you can pass along!
