It looks like you're talking about this (one "n"): http://www.canakit.com/Default.asp?Contents=/Include/Template/MenuCat.asp&Main=http://www.canakit.com/Contents/Items/UK333.asp Two of the three links to the case are broken, this one works: http://www.canakit.com/Default.asp?Contents=/Include/Template/MenuCat.asp&Main=http://www.canakit.com/Contents/Items/BX-1598ASGY.asp It's $48.86 for the card, $7.17 for a 9 V DC adapter, and $10.55 for the case, total is $66.58. How stable is the transmit frequency? It says it's stable enough for digital receivers. Have you tried playing music through decent speakers? How does it go? This seems like an elegant solution if it doesn't sound like bad radio in the end. -- Jeff Jeff Abrahamson <http://www.purple.com/jeff/> +1 215/837-2287 GPG fingerprint: 1A1A BA95 D082 A558 A276 63C6 16BF 8C4C 0D1D AE4B Attachment:
