I don't think you'd need to reflash to use this. I think this will work with the power Kernel as well. I see no reason for it not to work. This is basically just the FM-Transmitter config file.

Just follow the tutorial here and you'll be fine.


But use it at your own risk :D

if not, your logic fails.

FYI, know the law of each country before you flaming me :D

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-power_broadcasting

Take a read on that. The part say NEW ZEALAND! I'm using the bandwidth that my country allowed is perfectly legal to broadcasting with a low power transmitter.

There is no FCC in New Zealand and it is license free to use low power FM broadcasting frequency :)

I hope you happy now :D FCC can't do shiit to me since i'm not living in the USA :)
From wikipedia:
Quote:

In New Zealand residents are allowed to broadcast licence free at 0.5 watts EIRP in the FM guardbands from 87.5 to 88.4 and from 106.7 to 107.7 MHz under a General User Radio License (GURL) issued by Radio Spectrum Management. Prior to June 2010, the lower band was located beween 88.1 and 88.8. Broadcasters on these frequencies are required to cease operations if they interfere with other, licensed broadcasters and have no protection from interference from other licensed or unlicensed broadcasters. There exists a 25 km rule: You may operate two transmitters anywhere (close together), but a third transmitter must be at least 25 km away from at least one of the first two transmitters.

There are efforts on self-regulation of the broadcasters themselves.
N900 Radio transmitter won't even reach 0.5watts EIRP. So this is not going to effect the radio stations or DTV anyway. I used 87.5Mhz anyway which is perfectly legal for me to use it :)

My radio can go down to 87.50Mhz so it's legal because the car radio is made for New Zealand.

I have the FM transmitter enabled, i'm concerned about other limitations that might be in place though

There should not be any limitation with this. It should be the same as global firmware :)

I only use global because it is the firmware to get the first update from Nokia lol. So enjoy the freedom :D

I just PM'd ossipena my address so he can get contact with the FCC in the USA.

Althought i'm from New Zealand :(

The transmitter of the N900 is too weak to disturb any public signal, so you don't have to worry that you will get caught. You may could disturb you direct neighbour a bit in the "Worst case" but even that is quite impossible, so no need to worry.

I wonder if there may exist also a hack to RECEIVE frequencies outside of the normal range?

Yeah I know but just to prove that my claim is valid, I actually PM'd him my address lol so the FCC can find me, here is not like USA, we don't have a law to protect ourselves with guns. We can't buy gun and it's illegal to own a gun (gun). To own a Air rifle gun you have to be 18years old and no criminal record, hunter can own a gun but not the real gun.

See the law here is different :)

I have absolutely no Idea how to make the Reciever to recognising any lower frequency. I suppose It may be possible to get as low as 76Mhz but it may need a few hack :)

so your argument was invalid in the first place.... you are giving really bad advice to people who don't live in a country that has such legislations....

is this legal advice? will you refund someone if your advices don't apply? does this apply worldwide?

Besides the FCC should be trying to stop Google and Verizon from ruining the Internet. >.>

the talks were originally that lower frequencies overlap in the USA with tv......
