It's illegal in countries that adopted FCC regulations. I don't know how many that is, but enough that Nokia isn't changing it (as was stated in the bug tracker closing remark).

What, frequency or power level?

Do you have a link to the bug?

BTW, the next best feature of an FM transmitter app would be 5 frequency pre-sets so that once vacant channels are found, they can be saved.and named for the locations they're best used.

Oh? How is it not illegal? I was skeptical at first but the material i read seemed fairly clear on it.

I just downloaded it.
When i click on the icon, it seems to open a Xterminal, that is closing very fast (less than one second) and that's all.
Is it working now ? is it a bug ?

BTW, thanx a lot to work on it, I don't have a good reception in my car and I really hope that it will help :)

normal behaviour since some shell script is running to set the value... just execute it and check for yourself via xterm

cat /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-2/2-0063/power_level
and you sould see the 118

Is it permanent ?

no it's not, you have to press it everytime you change the state from off to on, but i guess the community will come up with another solution soon :)
