[Ti] Griffin iTrip - Review

[Mark Johnson]

I have found an excellent FM transmitter kit from Datakit. It runns off of 8
AA batteries and has a range of 300 feet. It has a keypad to set the
frequency and sounds great. I get a little static when I have the frequency
set on a local broadcast station. The kit costs $99.00. I am in the process
of making a box for it, the keys tend to accidentally get pressed
transporting the bare board.
