If you have a siruis with the transmitter tune it to 87.9.
Then everyone will hear howard.

Those FM modulators have an effective range of about three feet, dim bulb

The Cunning Linguist :Ş- Commander, Usenet Operations
Yeah dim bulb, about three feet for a 300 dollar Myfi. Even an
el-cheapo Sirius has about a 30 feet range.
Which FM modulator are you using that only gets out 3 feet? Mine gets
out about 300 feet. Sportsters are supposedly even stronger. I have
sat at the ferry terminal a few times with cars spread out over a few
acres and tuned around picking up 4 or 5 Sirius radios. No one ever
seems to have XM on there, though.

I get them from unknown neighbors.
NOW we're up to 300 FEET! Anyone want to go for a mile?
Maybe I should drop a note to the FCC and have them request Sears radio
interference characteristics be certified. Wow, that would suck for Sears of
they had to recall all those units
----
Right, fucko, that would violate FCC rules for radio interference
You are SUCH a fucking idiot!
> No one ever seems to have XM on there, though.
HUH? I wonder why? I'm completely baffled.
My Sportster was only marginally usable in my office at work with the radio less
than three feet away. That was trying *numerous* empty spots on the fm dial.
I eventually just switched to a cassette adapter.
You must be new here. You won't get anything factual from him.
FWIW, I get at least 50ft or so of reception. If my tuner is in my home
dock and I get in my car, I can hear my tuner clear in my car as I'm pulling
away.
Hmmmm, I actually wanted to test my range so I left my Xact Xtr8ck on in the
home dock downstairs. I drove my car out the driveway and down the street
for five houses until the static began. Our properties are all 100-125'
wide. Do the math.
with the Myfi, you can't go across the room without getting static.
91.1
Me too. I can't figure out where I would stick my dick in a boat
Lying fuck
"Another reason you might not have found it after tuning up and down the
dial is that you might not have the Sirius receiver sitting close enough to
your radio. The FM transmitter is very low power, and won't broadcast more
than a few/several feet. If you've got the receiver on one side of the room
and the radio on the other side of the room, chances are it won't
work...especially if there's a local radio station on/near the selected
frequency. They expect you to only use the FM transmitter in your
car...where the receiver most likely won't be more than 2 or 3 feet (if even
that far) from your radio."
Suck on THAT fact
According to the Howie Math, your FM transmitter should broadcast an
acceptable signal on Pluto
The FM modulator is for use in a CAR and, unless the car in question says
"Union Pacific" on the side, you don't need more than a few feet of range.
Of course, since Sears makes nothing even close to a portable, that may be a
real issue for their suckers- I mean- subscribers.

Damn MyFi being FCC compliant and all!
Shhhh!
162.4
If there isn't anything on the frequency already that you have your FM
modulator set to, then you aren't violating interference rules. RF
modulators are contructed and then tested by the FCC for certification
to make sure that the unintentional radiated frequency emissions are
below certain levels deemed to minimize interference to others. As with
all Part 15 devices, they must accept interference to their operation
and if they interfere with anyone else, use must be discontinued.
As far as the FCC regulations which effectively limit the range of RF
modulators or any other FM transmitters for that matter, Section
15.239(b) states that you are limited to a field strength of 250
microvolts per meter as measured from a distance of three meters. 250uV
at 10 feet! You could pick up a 250uV signal with a radio you got out
of a box of Fruit Loops! If you were out in the open and had a decent
radio and antenna, you could pick up such a signal over 1,000 feet away.
Try again, commander!
Go ahead. Write the FCC. Tell them to mail you Part 15 to you. 250
microvolts per meter measured 3 meters away.
FIELD STRENGTH COVERAGES WITH 250uV/m at 3 meters reference
METERS ----------FEET-----------FIELD STRENGTH (uV)---------TOTAL AREA
3 9.5 250 304 sqft.
6 19.7 125 1216 sqft.
12 39.4 62.5 4865 sqft.
24 78.7 31.25 19458 sqft.
48 157.4 15.625 1.8 acres
96 314.9 7.81 7.15 acres
192 629.8 3.91 28.6 acres
384 1260 1.95 114.3 acres
768 2519 0.98 457 acres
1536 5039 0.49 1831 acres
Get a really hot radio like the AOR AR-ONE that has a sensitivity of
-1.5uV/M and pair it with a good antenna, you could receive a legal RF
modulator over a mile away. Even a Pioneer car stereo (a model with
Supertuner IIID) has a sensitivity of .7uV for a S/N ratio of 30dB.
Flat open terrain and no obstructions, a car stereo could pick up a
legal limit unlicenced FM broadcast band transmitter a half of a mile
away.
Nah, not new. I just enjoy poking the troll sometimes. It was a slow
day! :)
Provided that frequency is clear in your area. Coincidentally, that's
what frequency one of my Sirius units are on in one of the cars. 87,9
is unusable here due to TV Channel 6 being so strong and throwing
splatter 150kHz up the band.
Way to be sure to be FCC compliant by making your field strength
1/1000th of the legal limit! LMAO!
I enjoy being able to listen to my one Sirius radio in my house in any
room that I already have an FM radio in. No matter how small and
portable the units XM will come out with are, they will never be as
small and portable as an FM radio.
So is that what O&A are resulting to in order to get people to actually
listen to them now? Transmit the EBS tone and broadcast to everyone's
wx radio??
Go on and tell us again why your MyFi's FM modulator range of 3 feet is
more than anyone should need. I was enjoying that.
XM == Xtra Mediocre
Well, at the terminal XM reception is possible, but the further west you
drive on the island, the worse XM's signal gets until it gets to the
point where the time spent in a drop out far exceeds the time spent
listening to the XM signal. All of the transport truck drivers know
that the best coverage across North America on the highways is from
Sirius, especially those who head out here to Newfoundland or up into
the Arctic on the Dalton Hwy. If I ever did hear an XM RF mod there,
I'd wager money that it belonged to an out of province tourist, most
likely someone from the states, from somewhere the XM signal is more
reliable.
I have no reason to lie about something so inconsequential. Besides the
fact that the strength of the built-in FM transmitter varies from model to
model, my JVC SR3000 can send it's signal to my car radio 50 ft away while
still sitting in the home dock. I can hear it clearly, as if the radio were
in its car dock. Deal with it.

See my comment above. Sirius plays no part in whether the tuner can send a
signal to a FM radio.
> Suck on THAT fact
Dope.
Fact? Facts are things that can be proven not everything you read is a
fact.
You believe everything you read on the internet?
I have my Starmate in an upstairs room in the front of the house and my
Stereo reciever in the middle of the house downstairs and my POS clock
radio on my nightstand in the master bedroom in the back of the house
pick up the signal, in stereo, just fine. House is well over 3300 square
feet and the Starmate is at least 30' from my clock radio and one floor
away behind a closed door.
So, you were saying?
Oh, and please show us all on the FCC website where it states that 30'
would be in violation of some imaginary rule...

Jesus you Siridiots will latch onto any scrap you can find to make
yourselves feel superior about something. Let's suspend disbelief and say so
the fuck what if your gargantuan Sears unit can broadcast 50 ft? If you had
a true portable, you would not have to broadcast to another radio outside of
using it in your car. And do you really think everyone is going to tune to
87.9 to listen to Howard when they ALREADY HAVE A SIRIUS RECEIVER?
Fucking ass monkeys

So I can just find an empty frequency on the FM band and set up my own radio
station? I don't need a license or anything?
Look out O&A, here comes TCL!
We're up to half a mile now, everybody. Pretty soon them FM modulators are
going to be stronger than the satellites themselves
Yes and that is a much better idea than setting your Sears monstrosities to
a channel at the "No One Listens" end of the FM band in hopes that someone
whipping by on the freeway might catch two seconds of Hoohoo
You Sirioids are always one step behind the technology
AH HA HA HA HA! The Siridiots always trot this shit out when they are
feeling inadequate.
I take you saw tomorrow's numbers?
Well, okay, thanks!

BOFH excuse #291:
Due to the CDA, we no longer have a root account.
Sounds like you've just described just about every post you make here.

No matter how portable a portable is, you can only listen to it in one
place at a time, or in the case of the MyFi according to your numbers,
one place and 3 feet away from it. Take a Sirius radio with a halfway
decent RF modulator and you can listen to it in every room of your
house, and your neighbours probably could, too. I guess if you live at
home by yourself so that you'd be the only one listening to the radio
then it wouldn't matter, you could take your portable from room to room
as you move about.
> And do you really think everyone is going to tune to

If they have a Sirius radio with an RF modulator tuned to 87.9, what
frequency would you suggest they listen to him on? 162.4?
Provided you didn't exceed a field strength of 250uV/m at 3m then yes.
No licence needed. Keep your harmonics under the limit and don't
interfere with anyone/anything else and you're good to go. Buy one from
Ramsey electronics and microbroadcast away if you'd like.
Never said the Sirius FM modulators go a half a mile. You claimed that
if a Sirius RF modulator could transmit 50 feet then it would be against
the law. I've just showed you how you could have an FM broadcast band
transmitter go as far as even a mile and still be legal.
I don't have to feel adequate or inadequate about anything. Erich asked
a question and I answered it. The facts are the facts. Now if they
make you feel inadequate, than that's your problem.
I've tried demonstrating how well such worked at a friends' house, tho, and,
well.. ymmv.... It didn't work at all from about the same distance while
there.
So who knows..

You are the laziest motherfucker I have ever seen
Better read this:
25 December 1998, Canada) Telephone relay company night watchman Edward
Baker, 31, was killed early Christmas morning by excessive microwave
radiation exposure. He was apparently attempting to keep warm next to a
telecommunications feedhorn.
Baker had been suspended on a safety violation once last year, according to
Northern Manatoba Signal Relay spokesperson Tanya Cooke. She noted that
Baker's earlier infraction was for defeating a safety shutoff switch and
entering a restricted maintenance catwalk in order to stand in front of the
microwave dish. He had told coworkers that it was the only way he could stay
warm during his twelve-hour shift at the station, where winter temperatures
often dip to forty below zero.
Microwaves can heat water molecules within human tissue in the same way that
they heat food in microwave ovens. For his Christmas shift, Baker reportedly
brought a twelve pack of beer and a plastic lawn chair, which he positioned
directly in line with the strongest microwave beam. Baker had not been told
about a tenfold boost in microwave power planned that night to handle the
anticipated increase in holiday long-distance calling traffic.
Baker's body was discovered by the daytime watchman, John Burns, who was
greeted by an odor he mistook for a Christmas roast he thought Baker must
have prepared as a surprise. Burns also reported to NMSR company officials
that Baker's unfinished beers had exploded.
Sat radios have 10 - 30 feet on a dead air frequency so they do not
violate any FCC rules. If there is a station broadcasting then the
modulator will not work. I use 1 SIRI radio and tune 3 FM radios in
different rooms without a problem
