Chuck my theory on transmitters is I want one to cover the area I require, and no more. It's not only a legality issue; but also one of privacy. I am hoping that someone somewhere will do a review of this Canadian transmitter discussing the range issue among other things. Based on what Jonathan posted, the company appears to be customer oriented -- something I'd expect in a high-end priced unit such as this. Right now, the Arkon soundFeeder models sf-120, sf-121, and sf-150c (all discontinued) meet my needs which are for listening in and around the home and yard and for mostly non-musical programming. I really wouldn't want a unit that had greater range than that.
One of the problems in this type of discussion is that different folks have different expectations, needs, and what they deem acceptible. If you were going to be listening to the opera or symphony in your garage which was 75 feet away from the point of origination, you might be happy with nothing less than a full clear local quality fm signal. On the other hand, if your uses were for monitoring a baseball game or working with your wireless keyboard on the front porch, you might be content with the quality of signal akin to that of a semi-local fm from a town 20-30 miles away. It all depends on what you want or need -- and that's why, I've come to believe, that user comments can often be so dramatically radically different on the same unit. Plus your local home environment might well influence just how a given transmitter might function; and perhaps even atmospheric and climatic conditions.
