peekarwe 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2004 ok, Thanks. Already found, sold in apple centers. Hi j4f, How much did you pay for it? This is the unit that can set any frequency. The older Belkin one only got 4 preset stations to broadcast through. Not very ideal cos it clashes with the 88.3 MHz. Don't mind if you let me know the performance of it? Can just leave anywhere in the car and your headunit in the car will pick up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juz4fun 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2004 sorry, I did not buy one yet, but saw a shop in Sim Lim selling for about $78. So reviews have been mixed on the internet though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peekarwe 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2004 J4F, you cannot expect much sound quality from these. You know those satellites around singapore broadcasting your FM signals? If even those can't give you cd quality sound, I doubt something in the form factor of a candy bar (half eaten) can. Anyway, the $78 one is the multi frequency one? Or the fixed one without display? Even the multi-frequency one got one version (grey) with a car cigarette lighter charger, so no need batteries. That's the one you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juz4fun 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2004 $78 for the multi-freq model, I just bought the cassette adapter and it works fine & cheaper too. Btw I am using the 4gb muvo2 and works great with my super mini amp and er6 etymotics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peekarwe 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2004 I think the er6s are probably easy to drive. What's your super mini amp? which one is that? I am looking out for another one that is capable of driving the DT431s, super low efficiency. something like 86 dB spl only. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peekarwe 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2004 I just got the tunecast (grey) with cigarette lighter adaptor. It's S$68. Bought from PA at the PC show today. Sound is ok, you really shouldn't expect too much from them. It's FM. And I realise I've got to push up the volume quite a bit as it's a little on the soft side.

peekarwe 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2004 Oh, by the way, I was trying to set the optimal frequency band for the tunecast to work and I realised that Singapore's airwaves are REALLY crowded! There's probably a station every 0.4 MHz! By virture of that fact, you shouldn't be considering tunecast 1 as that only has limited 4 frequency settings pre-determined in factory, 88.something to 89.something I think. Not sure. But there's alredy 88.3, 88.9 crowding our airwaves already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sound and size certainly do not equate in this case. A good amp! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evil-zen 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2004 any idea what is the range for most FM transmitters? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peekarwe 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2004 If I am not mistaken, 88.something to 107.something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evil-zen 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2004 I mean by how far can you receive the signal from the transmitter? in terms of metres. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
