The Omega Electronics FMX01 "Sound Sender" I purchased from Radio Shack
about 8 years ago was very good. The sticker on the back says it complies
with Part 15 of the FCC regulations, but I did a test, and it transmitted
a
distance of 450 metres, impressive!!

I've been using an ADVENT - purchased from Radio Shack - wireless
headset for the last 2 or 3 years. I plug it into the stereo, or any one
of my receivers and use it around the house and the yard. It works well
up to about 100 feet, then it starts to drop out on and off. The
original rechargeable batteries are still good for at least a couple of
hours - not sure what their limit is as they have never run out on me.
Not only do I have hands-free movement anywhere, but I can listen to
anything at whatever volume I wish without annoying anyone else. The
only drawback is that I cannot change stations from the headset.

I'd like to be able to listen to shortwave stations around the
house,
or
even MW stations on my Superadio II without lugging the radio around
the
house (in the case of SW, this is impossible because I can't take my
antenna wire around). What's the best solution for this? I was
thinking
of a small FM transmitter like this:

I'm
betting the range on these is very small.
CF,
The RadioShack has a limited range.
