If I remember correctly, you will get a better "carrier" of sound on the higher end of the FM band than the lower...so 106,107.x is going to work better than 88.5 on the low end side. Of course, I could be full of it as well... you'll just have to make that judgement yourself. Scott  |

It probably matters more where stations are grouped where you are. It seems to me that more stations are grouped in the lower end of the spectrum than the higher ends so there's probably more chance of a station bleed on those end. Likewise, the more stations there are and interference, the harder it will be to maintain a lock on a frequency, especially in a moving vehicle.

In the japan folder thare are more lower frequencys. I added some of the lower end 80's stations and found one that works great! I had no loss of signal and it worked pretty sweet.

Well i found that perfect station. I think it's 87.5. I don't loose the signal, it doesn't fade in our out, and works great! I haven't done testing on battery wear because i just don't have that kinda time. Once you get it to work it's pretty spiffy. Now i just have to get rid of those other 100 iTrip stations so they don't play when i randomly hit play. |

I am not happy with my iTrip. While the device itself is elegant, small, and "a thumbs up", the broadcast is ... not so much! I have tried several stations and feel that there is moderate static on all stations -- unless you live in the desert, it seems that I hear static no matter what. In fact, I actually don't think that it even depends where you live. I tried LOTS of stations and feel that ALL of them had static to some degree or another. Plus, even the "best" static station sounded a bit "tinny" and "hollow."  I will give it another week, but I am sad to see that this iTrip user is likely to return his!
