Here are the notes I have regarding the modification for the ccrane transmitter. I followed these instructions and was able to turn the screw up for better range.
The C. Crane Company, Fortuna, Calif., offers a low-power FM transmitter. Blind end users report a limited range when they take the C. Crane unit out of the box and plug it in. It often reaches only as far as a single room. I am pleased to report that ingenious blind end users have found a solution to this dilemma. There is a rectangular, depressed space on the back of the unit about one inch by two inches. It is a thin metal or plastic plate that is surrounded by a feelable line. It's a little rougher in texture than the surrounding casing and looks like it's a label, which it is. The plate is flexible, but it is stuck on with good adhesive. It can go back into place very nicely, if carefully removed. Slide a knife blade in under the corner of the plate and get it started peeling off. Once the plate has been carefully pealed off, you'll feel three tiny holes. The left most of the three holes has an adjusting screw, so you'll need a very small Philips screwdriver. Turn the screw a quarter to a half turn clockwise until it stops. Replace the plate. If you were careful with the plate, you can get it back in place with no noticeable damage. After performing this adjustment, end users report dramatic improvements in the performance and range of the unit. People report the range extends throughout their homes and yard.
