Actually the ban on transmitters is to do with possible interference with other devices and communications, nothing to do with terrorism.
This one made me laugh, "simple things more interesting".
Anyway it bad if they just disallow transmeters.
Maybe they should do like cellphone, have signs where transmeters must be switched off.
Cause i think cellphones have the same problem they interfere with other devices.
Another thing is think they wouldn't be able to tell if your transmeter transmit only on 10M range.

Has anyone in the US seen a price on what the MMR-60 will cost over there ?

I ordered a Belkin Tunecast II & 3.5mm adaptor today..
Hopefully it'll be here by tomorrow. Then, no more piddling about with CDs or cassettes in the car.
I was going to wait for the MMR-60, but then i thought, in future it wont be compatible with newer phones if they dont use the SE fast port, or if i change to a Nokia phone or something. It'll also work with my PDA.

And it arrived a hour ago.
First impressions, the tunecast works well although the supplied batteries that came with the thing were virtually dead. The AC adaptor however to run the device from the car battery works fine.
Some hissing though, which i sort of was expecting, and is only noticable when the music is really low, but the main thing is it works.
I still might buy a MMR-60 however depending on reviews of how good the sound output is.

Sent them back.
The 3.5mm adaptor is mono only (it was meant to be stereo, so is obviously faulty) and the Tunecast gives out such a poor signal its not worth having, so that must be faulty too (or just crap).
I'll wait for the MMR-60 now, unless that gives out a bad signal too.

did you test the belkin in a device other than the dodgy converter? Maybe it was that making it look bad? My belkin is adequate. With good battery and within a couple of metres of the radio reception it works fine, certainly heaps better than the cassette adapters.
digital wireless transfers from phone to stereo via bluetooth, sound quality will be stable then. Bring on A2DP I say!

Yes, i tried it with my old N-gage, an old CD player and an old Sony Walkman, it was the same with them all.
I had to stand literally next to the device receiving the radio signal to get any sort of acceptable quality, and then i had to hold the Tunecast in my palm (so using my body as an aerial) to boost the signal.
Ive never been a fan of Belkin products, ive always had bad experience with them, and right now im in the state of mind where i'll never buy anything from Belkin again.

interesting what you say about belkin, etaab. I've had probs too; a router that just wouldn't work (brand new) and a belkin bt dongle that was next to useless (where my Dlink dongle for example worked flawlessly with the same devices).
In fact I wrote belkin about the problem, and they sent me a brand new dongle two days after I emailed them (by overnight express!) So I was very impressed with the service, and the new adapter works fine (and is a BT2/EDR unit). I still have the old one, but it's intermittant and therefore not worth the hassle to try and use.
But it's still gonna take a while for me to trust them. My belkin transmitter though I've never had a problem with. As long as the batteries are good, it works fine (only an effective maximum range of about two metres though, after that the quality drops markedly)
My feeling is that it's not so much the design but the quality control at Belkin that may be the problem. If you write them and complain about your experience with their products they may send you a freebie to bring you back to the fold! It's worth a try. If they want to establish themselves in the market they need to be prepared to show good faith. They certainly showed that to me (I emailed the Australian head office for belkin, sales division and they sent me the replacement no questions asked).
I think you got one of their all too frequent lemons.

Well, back in mid October i emailed them about my Bluetooth dongle that doesnt work. After 2 weeks of emails, they promised to send me a new dongle.
I havent heard a thing since, and they appear to be ignoring my emails.
So your tunecast only had a range of about 2m aswel ? thats crap to say they reckon it should be 10m.
