but if your on the highway with traffic everyone in a 30 feet circumfrence including cops will hear your are illegally transmiting copyrighted music and you have not been granted access to transmit over their favorite radio stations and steal the radio stations marketing commercial money. NUFF SAID!

Nice last minute edit after reading my post. :rolleyes:: :rolleyes::

What does the iTrip actually do, broadcast or recieve radio stations? I've never been too sure?

-it broadcasts music off of your ipod to any reiciver capable of recivieng incoming FM signals. it doesn't receive radio staions. only transmits.

I also doubt that the signal is strong enough to interfere with a local radio station of decent power. It's designed to be used over static not a live broadcast.

I have one and it transmits UPTO 30 feet (about 9m) but anything more than about 3m and you start to loose its quality, but withing this 3m it sounds about perfect. So unless the police car was driving right by the side of you or very close to your house no-one will ever even know you have one. I managed to get it to pass through a partion wall when I placed it right next to it (very thin compared to an outer brick wall). And it would only recieve the signal about 1m through the wall with a good sound and about 3m you lost the entire signal. So my guess is it probably wouldnt even escape your house if it has to pass throught solid outer brick walls. Also figure out the likely hood of someone catching you? As you can only be about .3 either side of the frequency before you loose the sound completely. Also why would the police be listening to the radio? and accidentaly pcik up on your frequency? - I think someone would have to almost tell them that you are using it and they would then have troubel catching you anyway. Im not saying your should break the law... im clearly pointing out the facts about using it.

    • Save 44% on Intuit QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus 2024 (1 User for 1-Year)

      By fingletmein · Posted

      Keep in mind Intuit has lobbied like crazy to keep taxes complicated so they can continue to sell tax software. They also got caught hiding their legally mandated free version so they could release a second one that pushed countless people into charges they didn't need to pay to file. Intuit leads the charge on inventing problems so they can sell you the solution and disrespecting you in the process.
    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      By Figure 8 Dash · Posted

      Oddly, there was a time that UFC games were culturally relevant, largely because of the graphics and gameplay that was different than the norm. But it seems like as the sport grew in popularity, gaming outlets stopped talking about the games.
