After much testing, searching, listening to screeching and static I have found an FM station that works perfectly for my entire commute which takes me along i91 through much of central Connecticut. 102.5
There should be a website that lists best iTrip stations by region. I'd start one, but I'm (a) lazy and (b) busy.

They already have something like it: http://www.griffintechnology.com/software/software_itrip.html - they make a station finder for OSX and Windows...
#It's funny how "busy" and "lazy" so often go together...
#Its more than funny, lazyness moves the world. Programmers are a pretty example, OOP does it too... call it easyness, call it simpleness, call it libraries, its just laziness :)
#Also, of course, impatience, and hubris.
#There's also this site: http://www.ipodetc.com/stations.php
It has the advantage of having some feedback on the various stations.
too bad 102.5 is one of the most popular stations in my area, and therefore has
#You need XM. I thought it was a horrendous waste of money at first, but now I can't live without it - I drive a lot, too.
#I just bought the itrip to use at home. I thought that with a range of up to 30 ft I could keep the ipod in one room using the Altec speakers and use stereos and or boom boxes around the house to tune into the same music. A great way to have a wireless network! I just tried it out and found that 30 ft means without any obstructions such as walls. Those limit the range significantly where you might as well listen to the ipod from the source speakers.
So I thought to get on the net and see if anyone knows how to extend the range/increase the signal strength of this thing. I think doubling or tripling the signal would do. Anybody, any ideas?
