Re: Hi-Fi Stereo FM Transmitter

So we'll wait to hear from Alan and Al about what you should really do
As long as you stay under 3.2 miles, your low power transmitter is completely (edit: not) legal. You should be fine with adding an antenna to any of the commercial iPod FM transmitters. A few of them have ports for antennas ready to go.

You used to be able to purchase everything you'd need to do this at Radio Shack, but I don't think so now.

Be aware that FM sound quality will probably not be exactly what you're looking for if you can tell the difference between an MP3 and a CD, or other similarly degraded audio. Running wires or using a Wi-Fi solution would get you better results.
