Ok, thanks for the information ..... I might just try to hack my current battery-operated unit.  I will try to post a picture of it soon and perhaps someone can tell me exactly where the wires should b soldered.   I have to dig out some adapters as well to see what kinds I have stored.

I've always suspected that a couple of parts could be altered and the power of those cheapo transmitters increased substantially.

You wouldn't need more than a watt or two to blanket a house...

Yeah, I've thought the same...  I've got a couple laying around, I may have to play with them.  It'd be great to listen to Pandora over the home theater system.

I've seen kits (basically a schematic and a bag of parts) at the local electronics store) for around $40. It's a bit pricey, but the customizability of such a device would be awesome.


.... aah, here it is: http://shop1.outpost.com/product/1742989;jsessionid=PyKcz6zkM-hXZ+BGtdLl5g**.node3?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

The picture looks a lot like the one on Ramsey's site, but what you actually get is a bag or parts, instructions, and no fancy black box.

My house has a speaker intercom/radio system installed in each room as well as in the kitchen/family room and outside patio area.   All I have to do is tune to channel 89.4 on the main panel (located in the family room) to hear the music from my computer all over the house.   Works great, except the FM transmitter I use currently runs off of batteries. 

When I get time, I will post some pictures of it and someone can help me figure out what kind of power adapter (voltage/amp) to use as well as how to solder the wires.    I do not want to ruin my computer of course ...... and I am electrically challenged, so figuring this stuff out for myself is just not going to work.   Although I can solder and have a voltmeter    ;D

just get one of these:

less then $10 shipped  and it plugs right into a USB port on your computer, i have one for my car and it works great... it shows it with a car 12v adapter, but that is just a 12v to USB plug converter.
