So, how well does it work? Does if fade in and out as you drive? Do you
have to keep fiddling with it?
Aside from that, I think you have the theory of operation wrong. An FM
radio responds to a frequency modulated radio frequency carrier. I don't
know what an air born coaxial signal would be. I studied coaxial
transmission lines, open wire transmission lines, wave guides, etc. in
school many many moons ago. I don't remember a coaxial signal. what do
you mean by 6 discrete channels? RF out or Coax? Coax would require
you to plug the cable into the receiver, while the antenna would pick up
an RF output.
One of the problems with a small FM transmitter, is in a city with
strong FM signals, near by, the FM capture effect will cause the
receiver to lock on to the stronger station.
This will happen even if the small transmitter is rock solid and uses a
phase locked loop and crystal oscillator as a reference.
