Tom, I recently purchased two of the C. Crane transmitters. They both still had the screw to adjust power although they are a little harder to get to. However, in the case of both of my transmitters, they were set to the maximum already. An older transmitter that I had purchased definitely benefited by turning up the adjustment. It is possible they are being a little less conservative now, with the power setting. Also, the newer C. Crane transmitters reduced the digital noise that was present in the first digital versions. I have been happy with my C. Crane transmitters although I did clip a longer wire to the antenna.
I also bought another transmitter from Amazon that could transmit at 100 MW or one watt. However, when I looked just now I did not find it. Unfortunately, the low power setting seemed very much higher than 100 MW. It was a good transmitter and very quiet, but it had enough output at the low power setting that the signal would get into devices close by making them misbehave. That transmitter had a capacitor or something that went out after a year or so that generated a lot of noise in the audio. Also, some of its settings are accessed through a sort of menu with which one has to be careful. There are a number of transmitters on Amazon, but some claim a power of .05W which would be pretty low. There are some that are a watt or more, but besides being illegal, you may find that much power will disrupt other devices as I did. Good luck.

It used to be that the ones that C-Crane sold had a screw that you could turn, making it more powerful! But then I hear that they fixed it so that this no longer could be done! My old C-Crane unit (or so it would appear) has given up the ghost; often, I'll want to listen to something from my computer, but want to be in the kitchen or someplace away from the computer! Hopefully there is something out there that'll do what I need it to do.but won't drain my bank account too much! Thanks for any info you can pass along!
