So I received a portable Siruis player for X-mas this year and =20
discovered, predictibly, that the FM modulator to broadcast the output =20
to my radio was quite crappy. I installed an auxilary input via a =20
wired FM modulator (Ebay, $20ish) which sits in between the FM =20
antennae and the radio and gives me an RCA input which is broadcast =20
directly to the stereo on 88.1. I wish I would've know about these =20
years ago, as it is a great way to add a jack for your Ipod or =20
portable DAT. At first I was getting some whining background noise =20
that correlated with the RPMs of the engine, which I thought was due =20
to the wired FM modulator not being grounded directly to the frame per =20
instructions on the guys ebay site. Long story short, it was the =20
(poorly designed) Sirius device bringing it in through the cigarette =20
lighter jack (I discovered this by plugging my dat in to the aux in). =20
So I went down to Radio Shack and bought a little widget designed to =20
take RF interference out and plugged it into the line out of the =20
Sirius Stiletto and into the input of the wired FM modulator. Problem =20
solved, and now I can bump tunes in my car at full volume and it =20
sounds great, not CD quality but much, much better than it was =20
originally and I had a great time for roughly the next 36 hours before =20
my little Sirius guy shit the bed :-P
In any case, I was wondering if there might be any LPFM folks on the =20
list that would have input (no pun intended) on installing a straight =20
up LPFM transmitter in the trunk of a car. You could go see a show =20
and then broadcast it immediately afterward, not to mention that the =20
FCC couldn't triangulate your location if you're not up 24/7 and =20
mobile. (On Wikipedia, there is an interesting writeup of KGNU on in =20
Boulder CO that was hit by the FCC a few years ago.)
Go Team DAT!!!

Hi,
Please contact me if you have any masters / uncirculated shows for trade.
Also interested in many Japanese bands.

These things have always been the same

There is some overlap but quite a few different bands (from the
DirecTV coverage) on XM channel 43, starting each day at noon ET
for 6 hours.

a bit off topic, but not far. when i record in cool edit, the right channel
is recording random clicks. i re-installed 2.0 and installed 2.1. both do
it. its not a ton of clicks, and they arent really loud, but they are
there. if i record for a minute with no input, the left channel is clean,
the right one has random clicks. i reseated the soundcard and cables,
reinstalled the sound card software, still there. any ideas? gary d?
thanks
have fun,
mike hooker
