FM stations have been broadcasting in my city for decades, and there are dozens of them. So it's not like this is something that can be avoided. And the small, personal FM transmitters are not powerful enough to override an existing station, so again, I don't think this is the same thing as using a wireless phone or cellphone, which operates at higher frequencies and have a much larger range. But I've already ordered one, so I'll find out for myself soon enough... Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Hi Marc: I agree, and there is another factor to be possibly considered as well, since the FM band falls in the VHF range between 88 MHz and 108 MHz: many specialists and experts in the alternative health field (particularly in the areas of Rife plasma ray beam devices and similar plasma technologies, electrotherapy devices, " bioenergy " treatment devices, and also in many niches within the broad realms known as " radionics " and " psychotronics " , actually seem to feel that most RF frequencies in the range falling between about 400 kHz (i.e., just below 0.5 MHz) and about 150 MHz are rather harmless (unless one is exposed to a great overdose, such as an amateur radio operator operating with a 2 kW high power transmitter on the HF bands and with lots of stray RF fields in her shack from equipment and from her nearby E-field transmitting antenna) and indeed, a number of electro-therapeutic " alternative healing " treatment devices in the aforementioned realms deliberately employ frequencies in this range, particularly at and around the following frequencies: * 400 KHz to 1.5 MHz * 14 MHz * 18 MHz * 28 MHz * 120 to 136 MHz * 150 MHz Many of these devices bathe the patient undergoing treatment in RF fields in this frequency range, which encompasses the mid-and-upper LF range, the HF range and the low-to-mid VHF range. with care, --Vinny At 02:15 PM 11/29/2006, you wrote: > > For those sensitive to wireless, what would be the difference? > > > > Analog or digital.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Hi all, I received the FM transmitter so that my MP3 player could broadcast to my car stereo, and have determined that I do *not* have a bad reaction to this. However, in addition to being electrically sensitive, I am somewhat picky about audio quality, and find that the quality of listening to an MP3 player through an FM transmitter / FM radio is not very good, so I've decided that I'm going to do what I should have done in the first place -- buy a new car stereo with an audio input jack!
