Hello,
I have a Ramsey FM25 DIY Fm transmitter and a small "iPod" like mp3 player.
The mp3 player only has 4 hours of battery life. I am broadcasting traffic reports in our church parking lot each sunday. I record them and load them to the mp3 player and then press play. The transmitter has an 1/8" audio in. Is there a way to modify the power supply so that I can "steal" power from the transmitter so the mp3 player will continually recieve power? The MP3 player has a typical USB port in which one of the pins provides power. I built the fm transmitter kit myself and it works verywell. However, I know little to nothing about circuitry. Can you help?
Thanks,
Thomas
