A pleasant surprise

[lyteroptes]

I've just bought a couple of (lo-fi) wireless speakers for the kitchen, they are supposed to auto-tune to the correct frequency. They worked straight away....without me even connecting the transmitter unit. I'm presuming the SB3 is sending out the signal - nothing else could be. I didn't even know it did that! Nice one!

?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!

Something's not right here. The SB3 has no such capability.

What frequency do the speakers use? 900 MHz? 2.4 GHz? The SB3 has a 2.4 GHz radio transceiver but it's for wireless networking, and the music is sent to it via an 802.11b/g signal - i.e. digital. Even if you could tune into it, it would be nothing but noise. In fact, it's two steps away from music - if you could interpret the signal you'd get bits. You then have to decode it using the appropriate codec.

This just doesn't make sense. You must be tuning into something else.

I thought it didn't make sense. It must the wireless headphone base that they are picking up - I'd forgetten about that.

Are you sure you didn't buy a radio? ;-)
