FM Transmitter Problem
|
Tom Kaufman
Hello list: I seem to have developed a problem with My FM Transmitter that
I got back in 2004; this afternoon, I had to have my speaker system replaced (should have had the guy check to make sure that this transmitter was still working) he had assured me that it was independent of the speakers (which actually does make sense) but now I find that, although the transmitter is throwing a carrier, it's no longer transmitting! There is no way I can get to where that thing plugs into the computer! So what must I do to make this thing transmit again? Although I don't use it as much as I used to, there are some applications where I do need to have it working as there are a couple of things that only come via the computer! If anyone has any ideas, feel free to pass them along! The guy actually is coming back as I am having the power switch replaced on my computer tower; am hoping it's just a simple thing like maybe something got disconnected! But if this were the case, I would have no carrier.correct? Anyhow thanks for any help or info that you can offer! Tom Kaufman

doesn't that work on a battery? or have an off/on switch? hmm, I've got a couple of those around here somewhere and used them almost constantly until I figured out another way here in Southern California where there are no blank or unused spots on the FM band.

It does, Curtis...but I think mine is plugged in (in fact, am sure of it) otherwise, it wouldn't have been running this long as it seldom gets turned off (and I've had it running (for the most part) since early 2005!

Hi, directly connecting to computer via long cord, or blue tooth which has better frequency response.

Tom, if you have carrier but no audio, then you need to explore the path from audio into your transmitter.

If your technician was messing with your audio, there is a strong likelihood that a cable was left unplugged, or put into the wrong receptacle. You can test this by plugging something independent into the transmitter. If you have a cable that would go from a portable radio, let's say, to the input on the transmitter, then you can test it easily. Easy for me to say! You think? Geoff

Hey Geoff and list: Yes...the more I think about it, the more I believe

that something got unplugged (should have had him test this out) but since he had assured me that the transmitter was "independent" of the computer speakers, I figured he knew what he was doing! Provided that my new power switch comes in this coming week, he'll be coming by to take the computer and put the new switch in; hopefully we'll get my transmitter problem resolved then! Is amazing how you don't think of how much you do use something like this until you don't have it! Tom Kaufman
