Re: AC Adapter for compact FM Transmitter

Thanks so much for your reply.

I'm quite sure that the transmitter is less than 1 watt. It has a
range of about 100-120 ft.

Ok, then , I'll go ahead and try my universal regulated mains adapter.
I have one that is something like 1.5v, 3v, and 6v at 300mA, and
onother that is something like 1.5v - 12v at 1000mA. I feel more
comfortable with the former, but to my understanding the regulated
universal adapter rated at 1000mA should also not be a problem.

There is still one thing that concerns and intrigues me: My little
Belkin Tunecast II runs on two AAA batteries, yet the DC input is 12v
at 200 mA. This has me wondering if I should not also apply the same
to the transmitter in question.

Thanks again for your help. I'll be sure to post my results when all
has been tested.
