RE: Transmit Your MP3s Round the House via FM

["Dean Barrett" <dean@xxxxxxxxx>]

I still use my tried and trusted Veronica for Garden MP3 listening.

http://www.veronica.co.uk/50mwsb.htm

My setup up is PC Card output to Veronica, controlled by iPAQ running
Telcanto, played through Freeplay Windup radio :)

Was selling the Veronica at one point but decided to put it back into
service.


Dean.

You can get a 250mW mono FM transmitter in kit form for #15 from
http://tinyurl.com/7ckaq -
unfortunately their stereo encoder is both
expensive and discontinued. This can however be done in software -

I saw the PCIMAX is lot cheaper at http://tinyurl.com/2rs97 (#99) but they
can't supply the UK. They also have a #30 stereo encoder.
