[boarder3]

Type, model of transmitter. Power level setting. Location of pi 4, location of transmitter, distance between the 2. This info is all required to solve the problem.

it was on high power i switched it to low and it seems to work now. Didnt even know there was a high low setting on this thing.

Some on low power still exceed FCC limits for our use. A model # would have been useful. A good rule of thumb, it your clear audio exceeds about a block you are probably exceeding fcc limits.

Not to say that this forum doesn't know, but on that forum, that is all they do.

Since that link has not been updated since November 2018 I do not think it is a very good reference to be passing out.

This is not a competition. If you are doing Christmas light shows on Raspberry Pi, using their open source software for it--and specifically, software which supports FM transmitter--then that is the best forum for that--more so than here. There is nothing wrong with that. You can't be everything to everybody.
