I am looking for a reliable FM stereo transmitter to attach to my upstairs
PC so I can listen to music and web radio in the basement or backyard. Does
anyone have any suggestions?
I was looking at

and it looks promising. I don't want to order something from a mail order
only to find that it doesn't work as advertised.
I second the motion for CCrane.com.
They have an FM stereo transmitter for $69.95 plus shipping.
The frequency can be set in 50kHz steps across the FM band.
There is a simple mod (just google it) where you open the bottom
carefully and turn a pot to max. With that mod and a few feet of wire
clipped to the antenna, you can broadcast for at least a couple of
hundred feet around your house. CCrane doesn't advertise the mod, but
I have read that they said the mod doesn't harm the circuit. I have
two of them , one on my PC and one on my home theater receiver.
