My x2 will only go down to 88.1. I've heard there is less interference at 87.9 because no stations go down that low. How low does this go?

I have checked and it only goes to 88.1. I have also noticed that with this I have had no problems at all with interferences even channels that have something coming in it will still play and the sound is very clear

Mine changes by single numbers, so I get odd and even. (88.2, 88.3, 88.4 and so on) I'm wondering if yours is defective, that doesn't sound right!

yup if it is only as small as football field , I give you a tip set it on low output set the frequency to 87.3 so there is no signal crash with other local radio , and I use Coby CX90 radio as a receiver it works fine , hopefully it help.

To optimize the power it should be direct wired.There are connections that are foresale to do that,If you have a weak signal tune to a station which has no interfereance.

AM/FM reception on my stock antenna (Ram 1500) was fine on all channels. Switched to the stubby and the only channel I had reception on was a local LI station and even that had a significant amount of static. Left the radio tuned to that station, switched back the the regular antenna and the signal was crystal clear.

Try cutting the antennae wire internally. I get zero radio interference and the static isn't as bad because the range from box to radio antennas doesn't matter anymore. For me it's a lot better

Just tune it to the "base" broadcast (non-HD) for that frequency, then hit the little up arrow on the left to scan to the next highest broadcast . If there's an HD2 for that station and it's in range, that'll do it. The HD broadcasts do tend to have less range, and for where I am on the eastern edge of the Twin Cities metro (western WI), my favorite station at 91.1 HD2 often requires some manipulation of antenna (what you have plugged into the headphone jack, often actually a line out to a stereo in my case) position to get the HD2 to come in, whereas the non-HD base broadcast comes in strong no matter how it's positioned.

Not for me. I get only 2 AM statics and those have a lot of static. I get 41 FM stations so I am satisifed. Of all the radios I have experience with few receive AM well.

I've heard that this device has an "easter egg" that if you hold down the last two presets, you'll be able to access 87.7. It has been confirmed by other but I can't say for myself as I haven't purchased one yet. Most likely will. Very Good Reviews everywhere you look.

I think it depends on your local radio stations. I found 88.9 to be most effective

To all when you are sending a signal never use over a 5 to 7dbi from the router if you go higher dbi the path becomes narrower. Now when you are receiving a signal you can go as high as 9 to 12dbi. Just make sure you are using good antennas. Mike

What area are you from? I'm in Philly and I get reception on 88.1. If you can't get it on that channel, try the lower fm channels 88.1-90.7You might also want to try higher channels, 107.9-106.5...good luck ; )

I don't know-- mine never showed over 97.4 and I haven't used it anymore. Good luck.

I'm trying to find out the same thing. It's weird. Mine detects stations that are very faint yet misses some of the major ones with strong signals. So how do I get those major stations?!? Hello Creative Labs: You're missing some obvious features, so plus update so you'll really be the best.

Ray .. mine is on 87.5MHz w/low power setting on the main floor of a 4000 sq ', 3 level house. Full strength STEREO signal everywhere in house. @ 150' away it is still S9 on VX-7R. @ 200' it drops to S3.

What Mr. Faine says worked for me. No shut-offs and no interference from local radio stations. It's goofy, so here's a little more detail: Follow the instructions in the review section for this product to put it in International Mode and set preset 1 to the lowest frequency (87.7). Switch the unit back to U.S. mode. Tune your FM radio to 87.7 Press the preset button repeatedly on the unit until it says 107.9. *** the unit will actually broadcast on 87.7, not 107.9. *** it no longer shuts off

Check the LNB rotation. Also, I noticed that for some transponders, changing the LNB frequency gets the quality going.
