COBY WIRELESS FM TRANSMITTER
Model 738 which was not available enables one to select a silent frequency from the entire FM spectrum while model 737 offers only four frequencies between 88.1 and 88.7
Nothing special, but OK
When I bought this item I did not expect a great sound because basically all these FM transmitters do not work very well.
Although the instructions say to put the transmitter 13 ft (4 m) from the radio, it works quite well even at greater distances. However, sometimes I am not able to hear a sound because the signal from any radio station is too strong.
The transmitter is compact and can be connected to a DC 4.5V power source (the connection jack is not provided); its design is nice.
Great idea. Not as good as the cigarette lighter version.
I had high hopes for this one. I found the cigarette lighter Coby FM Transmitter did a great job for me, unfortunately, I shorted out two of them when trying to charge my phone through the transmitter jack. So, I thought i'd give the wireless a shot. Unfortunately, the strength is much weaker. You can only select 4 FM bands. None of them are in the prime 87 range. I typically have static on all four. Also, this thing runs out of juice fast, eating batteries alive. When the battery gets low, it inserts an annoying pulse of static in the signal. All in all, I'm disappointed.
I'm currently ordering a cigarette lighter transmitter to replace this one. I'll just avoid charging my phone through the transmitter this time...
