Comment Re:Short range FM broadcast? (Score 1) 337
Most of the FM "broadcasters" sold in stores are the ones that don't actually broadcast on air. That is, the "FM" music being sent from the input source is sent directly to the radio's FM antenna on the back.
In essence it is a "wired" FM broadcast probably to avoid FCC requirements. Theoretically, there is less room for interference because the Frequency Modulated signal is direct from a wire. Of course, the quality of the music piped from your MP3 player will only be as good as your FM radio tuner's Signal to Noise Ratio, Dynamic Headroom and Frequency response. On a scale of quality, very few FM tuners are as good as the best cassette decks. You will never get CD quality sound if you are going this route.
