My Belkin Mod to increase the transmitting range so it can be picked up from cars outside the house.
This is how I did the modification to my Belkin Fm Transmitter.
You will need:
- Belkin Fm Transmitter (no kidding!)
- Wire, I needed up to 6feet (2meters)
- Small posi-drive Screw Driver, and sharp knife or cutters
- Electrical tape
- Soldering Iron.
