can this jam nearby stereo listening to FM broadcast?

If you tune the transmitter to the same frequency that a local station is broadcasting on, then it could interfere. This is why you are suppose to find a frequency test isn't in use in you area. As to how much interference: that depends on the size and orientation of the antenna, and how much you tweak the power output by using the unofficial modification. Out of the box, the Crane unit I got would only broadcast a strong signal about 20 feet. Even with the pot turned up fully, I don't think the signal would go that far, maybe a 159-200 feet (assuming no interference from buildings or walls). So if you are in the suburbs or a rural area, the chances that you interfere with a neighbor's stereo are small. Note that some alternative devices are available that have greater power output. If you read the reviews on those, you see reports of people getting a signal up to half a mile away. Those are not FCC approved devices, which is why they have greater power output. The worst case scenario is that a neighbor complains to the FCC, they track you down and you get fined. Probably not likely to happen with the Crane. Might be more likely if you buy and crank up an overpowered transmitter from someone else. Then you are running a pirate radio station.

Yes probably. Kind of dependable on how close you are to a radio tower. I live within 10 miles of a radio tower that broadcasts Latino musice and it drowns my Fm reception. So I have one so I can get better reception.

I never tried to do that. It charges from a USB port, which means I am near my computer and other sound sources. I was not impressed with the radio overall.

No. AM/FM radio and you can stream from your wireless phone, Ipad, home computer through bluetooth. All these features are easy to use and believe it or not we really use the radio most of the time.

No. You would need to get an FM wireless transmitter to play through the on board radio.

Yes you can. But if you are in a very loud area it's hard to hear your radio.

yes but sound quality from ipod and xm is becomes very poor compared to CD or FM, I guess its cause they share the same port. My recommendation is if you subscribe to XM don't install this.

I have no idea, but can't see why it wouldn't work. But you must have a FM Radio.

The device uses FM channels which do not have a "station" attached to it. So with that in mind it is only limited by the open air channels available in your market.

Receives FM signals only, Recording is mp3 with selectable bitrate up to 256K

Yes you can definitely leave a device plugged into the AUX port and listen to AM or FM
1948956
No It has the option of using its built in FM transmitter to broadcast to your chosen radio frequency.

Yes, there is an ear bud that plugs into the mini USB that lets you listen in stereo.
1176741
Yes. You can use a preset station or program your own. But the audio over fm is susceptible to interference from other fm stations...

Yes, see page 19 of the manual. When listening with stereo ear phones press the FM ST button to activate the stereo function.

No - the reception isn't that good. I wouldn't rely on it for its FM receiver.

In my experience that shouldn't be happening. I was always able to pick a station on the FM band, match it on the digital readout, and pipe my iPhone through the car speakers. On intuition rather than science, I picked low powered stations (88.7 or 90.2 for example) rather than powerhouses and had good fidelity.
