to enable the FM Boost on FMTX just go into the settings (via the FMTX desktop icon spanner) and click the "boost" button.

And I fifth the answer that no, you cannot. 118 represents the max transmit power the hardware supports.
Further if you look into kernel code, in si4713.h there is a line
#define SI4713_MAX_POWER 120
so it looks like we do not have driver limiting max power.
And we should have in mind that difference between 118 and 120 is not linear as we are talking about dBμV units:
112 dBμV = 400.0 mV
118 dBμV = 794.3 mV
120 dBμV = 1 V
It seems that setting tx power to 120 works for me, but this could be placebo effect, so one can try and modify /sbin/fm-boost changing echoed value from 118 to 120 and check if there is an audible difference

Becasuse N900 cannot broadcast on the 87.9 which is the free wave here in states. Mine is not that strong where my friend can tune in the same channel when they are driving behind me but I do not need to touch the phone and antenna of the car.

yeah I'm keen too, to find out how to change it (118 to 120)..
I've all so notice that the music and static ratio is pretty bad too, like the volume of the music that is being sent to the transmitter is quite low for example you wound be listening to it in the car you wound have the volume turned up high, higher than nominal..but if you were listening to nominal radio the music is louder but you don't need to turn up the volume as high and theirs next to no static in the back ground.
I hope that made sense..
