Belkin FM Transmitter, October 31, 2008

C. PowellI read in the description this was in very good condition. When I got it, I found out that it was at best in fine condition. It was a little beat up, had corrosion in the battery slots, and some sort of gunk all over it. I was not told in the description it needed the car power attatchment to make it work, even if it did have batteries. I was quite disappointed to learn that it was not in the condition it was made out to be. I cleaned it up, and it works fine. I am happy with the product, but I am not happy with the seller.

E. MyersGood universal FM transmitter. It covers the full FM spectrum. The instructions come with a link to find the best FM signals in your area - I am able to stay on the same station from Baltimore to Dulles. The sound is no better than FM quality but of course, it can't be.
It eats AAA batteries - I have to change them once a week. However, I have rechargeables and always keep a spare pair in the car. I've never experienced my TuneCast II's memory erasing itself when the batteries died - my presets remain after I insert new batteries. Of course, you can skip the batteries and use the included DC power but I don't have all those spare DC outlets.

I bought this used from a seller, and I am very impressed with it. It works very well with 88.3FM in my area. I drive 40 miles one way to work, and I have uninterrupted signal the entire way there.
The only complaint I have is it is a big stubborn to turn off and on at times. Other than that I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a cheap, decent FM Transmitter.

I bought one of these for my brother & one for my husband. These work great. The only time they aren't great is when all radio frequencies are being used. I love these!Belkin F8V3080 TuneCast II Mobile FM Transmitter

Good product, but it could be improved if it can be adapted to get power from car, after all, this product is used in car mainly.
