I use this in Chicago, back and forth from the city to the suburbs. I get far better reception with this transmitter than I did with my previous one (a Belkin). It's not 100% intuitive to use, even though it has only 3 buttons but a handy instructions tag on the cord solved any confusion I had.With my old FM transmitter, the sound was a little bit hollow but I don't have that problem with this one at all. It sounds great. Two thumbs up!
