Default Indoor FM boost with no cables?

Sure, but you're also talking a 5Khz deviation (actually about 12Khz
bandwidth). Commercial FM uses 75Khz deviation (typically around 180Khz
bandwidth). A huge difference.


Does that degrade the signal quality compared a really good FM broadcast? (If
it does so a lot, it amazes me how little people are willing to accept from
their portable MP3's and DAB radios, but that's another matter...) Whatever I
end up doing, I want to avoid things like catching the FM, truning to audio,
rebroadcasting with all the losses involved, then back to audio yet again!
Sounds to me like a disaster, I'd likely end up with bigger problems than I'm
trying to fix now.
