This is the best transmitter I have tried, and I have tried several. You don't need to have a clear channel. I actually have mine tuned into 88.1 which is a station in my area and it still works without static or anything. I love the retractable cord too. A lot of other transmitters I tried, if you didn't have a clear channel, you got static or worse yet, the radio station. This one you just get your music - great

Good product, reasonable price and works with anything with a regular headphone jack. Works like it is suppose to. Only negative thing is that the plastic feels brittle and seems easy to damage if your not gentle and when you use it on internal batteries it dosen't last more than a day or so. Best if used in the car. Set it the way you need it and plug it in to a 2 or 3 way 12V power outlet adapter and leave it alone if you can, it has a power button so you don't have to leave it on. It has good range. There was very little bleed thru of radio stations. I plug it into the headphone jack of the portable DVD player and played the sound thru the car stereo. Great for sitting in a parking lot waiting or parked next to the brook hoping for the fishing line to move!

We bought this after having a problem with a device that cost 4 times as much. There are problems with this one that you should be aware of however. First, it does not charge your iPod so you have to continue to remember to take it out and charge it separately. Secondly, if you don't remember to turn off the iPod, even though your radio may be off, it continues to run and will eventually run the batteries in the iPod down and you will have to take it out and charge it again. The good things include a clearer reception than the standard device that also charges the iPod and of course the price. So far we have used it on a regular basis for several months and would buy another one even knowing the problems outlined above.
