My situation was this: I had to transmit a signal 60 feet thru two walls as well as a ceiling and roof to an outside antenna. The C Crane product and the Ramsey product could not do this according to both of their tech departments which I had contacted. Beronica had a transmitter that could transmit this strong but they could only ship this from England, unassembled and then I would have to solder it together. I bought the Blackbox Mobile off eBay for around $60 including tax and shipping. It works great and is very simple to use. Its only drawback is that it has just 4 preset channels, all four being around 107 Mhz. If that is a crowded corridor for you, the Blackbox may not be right for you. The blackbox is a plastic rectangle, about three quarters thick and three inches wide and maybe 4 inches long. The antenna is just a thin wire about 20 inches long. There's an on-off button and a toggle to the four presets. You plug it into the earphone jack of device you are transmitting from. It runs off three [?] double A batteries.

It can also broadcast from any portable audio device that has a headphone jack. But again, the signal is going to your FM receiver, not to your computer. These transmitters are small affairs, smaller than a pack of cigarettes. You can find them at Veronica, C Crane, Ramsey Electronics, and Blackbox Mobile. Some allow you to transmit on any FM channel you wish while others have preset channels. It takes no sophistication at all to use these things. If you need more specifis, contact me off-list.
