i've read a lot of threads on here about people who have problems with the fm transmitter when travelling through congested fm areas, and i may have a simple fix for anyone with the expertise to code it.
basically just a desktop widget that when pressed will up the transmit frequency by 0.1Mhz
the idea is if you start losing signal and hear another station coming through, move the car stereo up until you have clear space, press the widget by a corresponding of Mhz and hey presto!
its not ideal but until some genius can sort out simultaneous fm scanning and broadcasting tied with rds station switching, i believe it will be helpful to some people!
P.S. i dont actually need this for myself, very little choice of radio stations round my way so one frequency is all i need, i would love to actually make this myself but alas i'm a bit of a spoon so wouldn't know where to start, just hope someone has the time and inclination to make it.
P.P.S. i already have three widgets on my desktop i use when fm-transmitting, the transmit/boost widget, rds widget and media player widget, perhaps someone could also combine all 4 into some kind of a "super widget"?
