In order to generate a useful FM signal, peel back the decal on the back to expose the hole in the upper center. Insert a small screwdriver through the hole into the white screwhead and rotate slightly Clockwise until you feel resistance.

The FCC restriction is not adequate for home use and seems to be an attempt to damage the satellite radio business. Shame on Sirius and other satellite radio suppliers for not being as clever as CCrane and delivering products in FCC compliance but with the capability for a simple user modification to make the product useful.

The first unit I received must have been defective as I could barely make it from one floor to the next (10-15 ft), even with the VR2 cranked. I contacted C Cranes tech support, who immediately sent out a second unit and a prepaid return label for the first. Plugged it in and WOW what a difference! I can receive on every radio in the house and , with my car radio, down to the end of my driveway (about 75 yds.). If your first unit doesn't seem to be working as well as you would like I highly recommend trying a second unit. I'm sure glad I did.

I purchased this item to replace my IROCK -- which worked perfectly well except for the reliance on batteries. I wanted to "pipe" music to a radio in my office waiting room, so I didn't want to have to remember to turn it off and on to save batteries, so this seemed like the perfect solution -- Except that it didn't work. I had just about decided to toss the thing on the scrap heap... Until I read and followed NC's review "HOW TO FIX THE RANGE PROBLEM". So a 5.91 set of mini-screwdrivers from Radio Shack and 6 months later, it's FINALLY working. Thanks, NC... I think it's a shame that the item doesn't come shipped with a fix anyway.

I have the exact same problem as the other reviewer who tagged this item as "poor" - and with so many good reviews I wonder if there is a problem with this manufacturing run. Lots of hiss on all FM frequencies, right channel is not there, and the input pot can't seem to adjust a standard line-in signal level to prevent distortion. Too bad because I had high hopes for this product, but now it's got to be returned.

I got mine from Amazon and I love it after I modified it. It works even better with roof antenna.

You can still get it from (...) for less, and free shipping.

good luck
