all I wanted was to broadcast my huge library of mp3's from my computer to the various stereos through my house. I bought a cana kit (ck333 mp3 stereo transmitter) and assembled it.the kit was real thorough and easy to assemble for an amatuer like myself I turned it on and wow -it actually worked. here's my problem- tuning this thing sux, and it doesn't like staying in tune either. to tune it you have to adjust a little screw inside an inductor coil, and to make matters worse you can't use a metal screwdriver. now I know I should have bought the kit with the pll tuning, but I'm cheap. so the question is can I use something else to tune with, like one of those little tuner units in a cheap fm radio, or are those little jewels just a fancy trimmer capacitor?
next question, upon all my frustration with this project, a friend of mine who was watching me throw things while trying to get my pirate radio station off the ground, said he had something that might be of interest to me. He works for a fitness company and gave me a fm transmitter that they use in fitness clubs only problem is that it is 900 mhz and has a reciever. I can actually pick up some of the preset frequencies on fm stereo but not well. I opened up the unit and it has an adjustable inductor coil. what are my chances of lowering the freq from 900mhz to standard fm band using this coil or is it not that easy? the unit is a broadcastvision bv900 and it is high dollar ( don't want to screw it up) any help or ideas would be helpful thanx cozzo
