DIY FM Transmitter for your iPod

DIY iTrip

Barb, how I love posting your Engadget stuff over here at TUAW: The MP3 Hi-Fi Stereo FM Transmitter is a circuit kit you assemble that can connect to any audio source with a headphone or line out. The transmitter has two onboard stereo audio jacks and ships with an audio cable. Range is reportedly 100 feet, and the unit can be powered with any standard 9V DC / 50mA adapter.”

So, if you like do-it-yourself projects you’ll probably really like the tinkering involved in getting this kit to function. As an added bonus, it’s probably one of the few FM transmitters out there that will work with both your regular iPod and the iPod shuffle (which has me seriously considering getting it).

I was interested in this for a long time. My soldering skills are terrible so I was hesitant after reading the instructions that there are 300 solder points on the board. I read that as 300 ways to turn it into junk. Eventually I found a reseller that put together these things for you. For an extra $50, I was saved the experience of soldering it together. Unfortunatly, my experience was not great with this little puppy. I got an AM quality signal about 20 feet away, nothing after about 30 feet. I even tried my hand at building an external antenta, but no luck for me. Maybe your experiences will be better. Jerry

I do aim to please. :) If you do get one, you'll have to let us know how it works out... I might snag one for my growing collection of portable audio, if it works well.
