 unusable on UK Nano 3g August 6, 2008

I agree with the other post. This is unusable at least with my EU nano 3g. The volume is far too low because it uses the dock for audio which you cannot increase. Its not the FM signal that is faint because it tunes in fine and no hiss, just the sound is so low you have to have your radio on full to hear it. Then because of this, if you have a quiet patch of music itrip switches off because the unit thinks you are not playing anything. Then you get deafened with hiss because the itrip transmission has stopped and your radio is on full, then to make matters worse you have to retune the itrip as it doesn't remember the frequency. If you have anything other than thrash metal playing it does this every 20 seconds - completely unusable and a shame it doesn't do what it is supposed to do . Case for trade descriptions I say!

The Griffin iTrip SE was pretty much unusable. The transmission is incredibly quiet - so quiet, that even at high volumes, you still struggle to hear it. To add to insult, it turns itself off every so often due to "power saving functionality". If it's a European model, things are made difficult still with a feature to deter pirate radio stations by selecting a random frequency every time the device is turned on. Sadly, it makes life worse for the majority that use it for good and I'd hardly say it deters pirate radio stations (although why use it if it only has a weak signal anyway?).
There can be good things said about the wide compatibility of iPods that it can connect to and the ability to still use the headphone jack whilst transmitting is an added bonus. However, if you appreciate music (and by that, I mean listen), you should avoid it completely.
