I used FM Boost with PR1.1 all day today and made these observations:

- It must be invoked again every time the frequency is changed. Even if Media Pl;ayer and the transmitter is running. If you change to another station, you need to push the FM Boost button again.

- Where this thing really shines is with the car charger plugged in. As others have reported, plugging in the car charger reduces transmitter output to an unusable level. Push the magic FM Boost button and BAM!, wall to wall sound. The consistant voltage provided by the charger powers it up to a point where I could swear, the snow and ice on my windshield melted faster when it was on, LoL.

(BTW, this same power reduction is invoked when the battery level gets low. Perhaps some sloppy Power Management code is to blame. Maybe changes in the Power Management profile could be another way to invoke the script but regretfully, I don't know enough about this. )

- A simple song extolling the heroism and virtue our man qole has displayed in providing this tool for us is not enough. Because his pre-sales unit doesn't have this handicap, the development did not benefit him in the least and his motivation was truly an unselfish concern for the welfare of others... I'm thinkin' dude needs a dang magnum opus or suttin'.
