Best Melbourne And Australia Radio Frequency For Ipod Fm Transmitter

[glen]

Best radio frequency for iPod FM transmitters in Melbourne, Australia



Hi everyone,



I just bought an iPod Nano and I also bought a Griffin iTrip as well which is an fm transmitter to let me listen to some podcasts and audio books on the car radio.



I was interested to find the best radio frequencies for Melbourne ipod users and came across a very good thread on the whirlpool forum that mentions some good ipod radio frequencies for melbourne and plenty of other places in Australia.



So far I am finding 104.7 FM works well in Melbourne and there is very little radio interference from other radio stations.



Cheers, Glen

It would also be good to avoid the obvious Frequencies in use [url="http://www.ausradiostations.com/"]http://www.ausradiostations.com/[/url] it's Oz wide and also includes a lot of the community type stations as well check.
