[NJARC] $5 FM Radio Station

[William S Zukowski]

All of the lower priced FM transmitters I've seen are set for 50 us 
pre-emphasis, not 75 as used in this country resulting is a loss of 
highs.  Depending on your requirements, this may not be an issue.

I purchased two low power FM transmitters for re-broadcasting XM and the 
music channel from my cable TV around the house.  Turning up the treble 
on the receive end helps, but I'd still like to be able to reset the 
pre-emphasis.  With my two transmitters, this is not easily accomplished.

A "Pause" button on a FM transmitter??

All that being said, if you're putting together a bulk order, I'll go 
for one too.  Can never have too much stuff!  Thaks AL.
