Dynex Portable Wireless Fm Transmitter

 (5 customer reviews)

I got this to go with my Dell DJ. Since I go between two cars for my commute, I wanted something that wasn't "nailed down". This seemed to fit the bill. And it does, but I find myself constantly adjusting the tuner to clean up the signal while driving. I start off and the signal is strong, but 10 miles down the road it starts to fade and needs tuning. I do live in the Baltimore Washington area, so there are a lot of radio stations chewing up the air waves. I think the battery power source limits this items broadcast strength. And when you are near a city, regular FM is going to overpower battery-powered FM everytime. Good item as long as you are in a rural area.

Nice little gadget. I use it with my mp3 disc player and my Lyra when driving the car with only a CD player. While the signal will get a bit fuzzy after a while, it is really pretty reliable and easily set up.

Also it's sturdy. It's oval rounded shape and size must remind one of Jack Russell Terriers of a dinner biscuit because I've caught him twice chewing on it. Now it has some tooth marks but otherwise works just fine.

The nice thing about this product is that it is small and portable. There's even a tuning wheel on the side to further adjust the reception. However, that's about all that's good with Dynex Portable FM transmitter. There is constantly some sort of static, no matter how far or close you move the thing to the receiver. Even adjusting the wire does not help. I've tried using it in the house with the stereo system, but that's even worse than using it in the car. It appears that the only time it had crystal clear quality was when it was placed in my lap with one end hanging on one side of my thigh and the other end hanging on the other side, and even then, this position does not guarantee static-free reception. You definitely get what you pay for in this case. A cheaply made product for a cheap price. I don't recommend getting it.
