My Starmate Sirius radio gives off a useless FM signal - a radio right next to it can barely pick up a signal on any frequency. I want to buy an external FM transmitter to strengthen the signal. Does anyone have any experience w/ these? For decent ones, the price seems to be between $70-$100.

It's unfortunate that the NAB has pestered the FCC into forcing satellite radio manufacturers to neuter their FM modulators. It's allowing older satellite radio models to keep a better value on eBay anyway.
You are going to pay around $70 for a decent one. Many use the C Crane FM transmitter

It might seem expensive now but if the NAB keeps up with their pressure, you might see those get taken off the market as well and they'll be costing twice as much on eBay. What I did personally is I had bought an FM stereo transmitter kit from Ramsey Electronics years and years ago. It still works today and has come in handy many times. It has no problem covering the whole house and makes it to a couple of the neighbours too. They still sell them and if you can manage using a soldering iron it can save you some money getting it.

They have not been made for some years, so eBay is your perfect wager. you could purchase the FMDA25 adapter, which will provide help to at as quickly as connect the extra modern-day contraptions to a automobile radio's antenna plug. this offers you with good sound inspite of the weaker FM transmitters. It does no longer be some thing you're able to desire to surely circulate from automobile to automobile, however.
