Hi, I had a little idea.
is it possible to program a little feature that will scan the FM spectrum with the FM Receiver,
and then automatically and dynamically choose the best one for the FM transmitter?
That way you can travel forever without the need to mess with the
transmitter settings, it will just always be on the best frequency available

does the device can handle using both receiving and transmitting the same time?
is it possible to build anything like that?

This has already been talk about this.
It is not possible to use transmitter and receiver simultaneously, this could however be done by switching temporary to only receiving mode.

The problem is with antena that is necessary for fm reception...

well silly me... i forgot all abut the radio tuning :\
but you have a point, most car's radio have a remote controll,
with i assume uses IR.. so this will be a little trickey - but possible

edit:
why is the antena is a problem? you can't just keep the headphones pluged in for reception?

Yeah can't there be a way to scan all off the frequencies and see which has less static? Or some program that shows a graph or how much or less a frequency is being used?

Plugging in headphones disables the fm transmitter.

This is actually a pretty good idea. Maybe the fmtx developer can help with this.

If there was a program that could change frequency like this, there shouldn't be any problem having it as a widget that displays the current frequency and beeps 5 seconds before changing, should it?

Perhaps this page (or there are others) could be used.

isn't it just easier to use like 107.x ? Don't know about where you live but i've never noticed any stations up near the top end of the FM spectrum
