Hello, I am trying to increase the range of my belkin FM transmitter. It's called a belkin Tunecast auto, the model number is F8Z343, and i'm trying to increase it's broadcast range. It's range is very poor, only about 10 feet or so, and its signal strength is also poor, even on a almost clear station. My music gets staticy when the hosts radio station has even a tiny amount of incoming signal strength. I normally use the station 107.3 FM which is always static in my area, but when I get 15 minutes out of my area the station has some strength. ( The station sounds horrible, and is almost all static, but it still interferes with the transmitter) After some research I found how other people have modded similar belkin transmitters, but when I opened mine it had 2 different antennas. I have no idea which antenna to modify, one is labeled RX_ANT and the other is TX_ANT. The RX_ANT has a resistor connected to it so i'm assuming its the one I should be using, but I figured I would ask first to be 100% sure. My plan is to remove the resistor, increase the antenna lead and hopefully increase it's range and strength.
The TX_ANT has a white wire looping around the front of the transmitter and the RX_ANT has a black wire going up to the Ipod connector.
Hopefully the pictures will help, and thanks for any help you can give me.
