i was asked by a friend about locating the internal antennae on an fm transmitter because he wanted to extend the range of it. i was thinking it was going to be as easy as finding a bent piece of metal to solder a lead onto, but that didn't exactly work. it would be great if someone could make a suggestion as to where it is. thanks in advance





by the way it is a belkin tunebase for zune.

From the looks of it, your going to need a schematic .

I don't know how easy it would be to find one on this, but it seems necessary.

It would probably be easier to extend the range of his vehicle's antenna, then this.

If I may ask, what type of vehicle does he have, and is he even using it in a vehicle?

I have found with my zune and belkin FM transmitter, that it works alot better if you have some sort of space to put it next to your receiver or the vehicles antenna

If he isn't ever going to listen to radio again, you could always cut the antenna wire coming from the receiver and wrap it around the transmitter, if it doesn't sound clear then, you must have interference coming from somewhere

Highly doubt this, but maybe it might be using the headphones as the arial ?? lol, i swear to god, all radio equipped nokia's use the headphones as arial i cannot touch the headphones when i'm using them or it goes super fuzzy!!

Just though i might say!!

nah that's not it. i think he found it but thanks for the advice.

Unless theres something clearly labelled antenna or something try searching google for a schematic?

Also, look at the IC labelled xbox.... how ironic

You mean like the pin that says FMTX_EN
