Whats the easiest way to apply that long command to echo power level 118 without committing it to memory and typing it out? I tried copy/paste from a note but that doesnt work.
For a temporary solution so I can try it in the car when I leave work I am just leaving the terminal open in the background after having typed it in there once so I can use the up arrow to recall it.
Any more permanent ways to use this command on command?
update: tried it out, not a big improvement for me in the car. Still fades out too easy, very sensitive to positon and even where I drive. Its a combination of weak reception from my car and crowded radio waves.
I did notice something today worth noting, the volume level on the player effects the transmission. Turning it up all the way made it more clear, while lowest volume you can not hear it.
Just a guess but its possible the reason different people are reporting a different transmission strength was due to nothing more than a different volume setting with 118 being the max.
I think the next thing to do is research a signal booster for the car rather than a way to make the N900 transmit better. Though if we find any effective way to make it boosted higher (or change the tuning to an area less crowded) without damaging the unit its a welcome mod.

Ok, I've uploaded fm-boost_0.1-2fremantle1 to the extras-devel repository. It really is just the script developed by Stephen Birch, go1dfish, jsharper, YoDude, DaveQB, and Bratag (with help from others 
), a sudoers.d entry, an icon and a menu entry.
People who use this hack need to test it now...
It is in the "System" category.
Standard warning: Beware the Extras-devel repository. Testers should enable the repository, install this package, and then disable the repository.

Bug in this version: the icon doesn't show (oops, left the .png extension on!)
Just a note: the new firmware looks like it may set the TX power to 118 by default, thus negating the need for this hack.
