Brian asked,
| Hi. This is my first posting to the list after lurking for a week or
| so. I don't have a minidisc yet, but I'm awaiting the delivery of my
| Sharp MD-MS722 this week, and have been browsing every MD related site I
| can find.
Good luck.
| At BestBuy's website, I ran across the following:
| http://www.bestbuy.com/Detail.asp?m=111&cat=193&scat=197&e=11001011
| "Arkon Wireless Audio Adapter Plugs into lighter socket and powers CD or
| MiniDisc player while transmitting sound through the car radio."
(That URL isn't working today. If you go to Best Buy's top page and search
for "Arkon" links show up for it and for its battery-powered counterpart,
but
they reach "page unavailable" dead ends.)
Previous models from other manufacturers have performed VERY poorly. I've
detailed my disappointment with them on this list in the past and don't want
to go into detail again: let's just say that I should have tested each I
bought in the store parking lot and gone right back inside to return it as
another list member (was it Jim Coon?) did instead of bothering to take them
home first.
| I had no idea there was such a thing for portables.
It doesn't have to be for a portable, though you're pretty much not going to
bring anything other than a portable into your car. It's for anything with
a
headphone or line-out jack.
| This is really cool because my wife's car doesn't have a tape deck, just
| am/fm, and if this adapter works, it'd be nice to use on long trips.
It will be really cool if it works. The Sound Feeder and the fX Wave
didn't.
| Any experiences, good, bad, or otherwise?
Just bad, but maybe the Arkon is better than the other brands were. You
need
to live in a deserted area to find a quiet FM frequency for it, and if it's
like the models I tried a couple years ago, its transmitter will drift off
frequency all the time, so she'll spend all her time adjusting the radio to
find where the signal went instead of watching traffic and staying alive.
