I live in the New York metropolitan area, but was still able to find 2 "open" FM frequencies available to use. I use the device mostly to play audio books. I have to turn the treble setting down a bit to reduce the background hiss (or white noise). This is something I had to do back in the days before cd's when I played my music on cassettes, so I don't think the unit is at fault. I played a few songs to test out the sound and they sounded excellent. After about a minute of turning off my MP3 player, the unit powers off, so be prepared for a sudden large amount of static from your FM radio, unless you get used to shutting or lowering you radio right after you shut the MP3 player. This is not really a problem as I got used to shutting the radio after a week of being startled. So far, I have only used the device in my car but I'm looking forward to playing my MP3's in the house. All you have to do is get 2 AAA batteries to power the unit. I am very satisfied with the device. It has made my commute much less boring, plus I am finally finishing several of the audio books that I have.

Had to send the first one back, it would shut off after 1 minute. Second one works great, some channels the radio overpowers but not often. return was easy. great deal with the rebate

The first shipment that I received from buy.com turned out to be a defective product... the transmitter shut off automatically even in the presence of a strong audio signal from my Zune. To buy.com's credit they accepted an RMA and shipped a replacement rather quickly. The replacement works like a charm. The transmitter has a strong signal even on frequencies occupied by local stations. And the auto shutoff works only when it's supposed to do so.... when a longer period of silence exists indicating the device is no longer needed. I would give this a five if it included a way to charge the Zune at the same time.

This is my first mp3 adapter experience. I purchased this item to use with my Sansa mp3 player. Overall, the product is very easy to use and the sound is pretty good. I did not expect an awesome sound coming from this product, but it was much better than I thought. Not quite crisp and clear sound, but it does the job. My only complaint is not the product, but the price for these type of adapters. The product is so simple to make, but yet the price is quite high.

This is an awesome way to hear your tunes through your car radio. Really strong signal and lots of FM channels to choose from. The only bummer is that it does not charge the Ipod...

I purchased this with the rebate offer and after reading the many favorable reviews. Getting beyond a few quirks, a bit large for the dash, the car charger is a bit difficult to plug in and pull out, and no auto-off feature-the performance is very good and a heck-of-a-value for the price.

You need to find a spot for it in your car so your antenna can pick up the signal without distraction. So far it's been great. Love it!

Powerful FM transmitter, able to swamp out local radio channels, as other reviewers have noted. Very good audio quality. Retractable audio patch cord does not reel in very easily, and is a pain. Overall, I am very satisfied with the purchase.

Best price anywhere but still a bit pricy. Works great though and gives you more than enough options of stations to use. Also like the fact that it runs on batteries so I can use in the house, as well as the auto shut-off feature.

It is a very good FM transmitter without antenna. With an antenna, I can listen to my FM station even from my home's mail box, over 100 ft. Where is the antenna ? Plug a 3' USB cord to the transmitter. I opened the transmitter and found one connection in the USB port for antenna. I have experimented and found a much clear signal with pluging the USB cord. Even I prefer to use 2xAAA battery (no hiss background noise). The transmitter was bought with a rebate that made the deal be excellent (more than 50% off). I have a Belkin TuneCast II FM Transmitter, but comparing to Port Authority2, Port Authority2 has a very strong signal and long battery life.

I modified a cable to have USB-USB ends and use it to power this unit from my PC. I can broadcast my audio and listen to it as I do my chores around my home.

So much static on this one. I cannot use it anymore on my two separate cars (one is Honda-1990 and the other ise Nissan-2006) So i don't recommend to buy this one.
