Anyone know which FM Band Expander to use for a JDM radio to tune in US stations? Also which one is the best out there?

In 2010 I got mine from manufacturer2 on ebay

Here's the description "Car Radio FM Band Frequency Expander FM Converter 18MHz" unfortunately he doesn't seem to sell anymore

It's working very well with my p01, but JDM range is very limited compare to US one so depending on your unit and your favorite station you might want to get a different shift freq (mine is 18MHz)

This looks a lot like the one I got but mine has a metal housing.. I put some electrical tape around it.. not sure what would happen if it grounded out.

if i recall manufact2 said that if you tell him the main stations you want to pick up here he can recommend which one to get. i think i got the 14mhz one for mine

Got a hold of a 18mhz one and it works GREAT.. whoever says these don't work must be in a bad area or just got the wrong expander.. I pickup every station I want besides 93.7.. 17mhz would be perfect for me.. 93 to 107 would hit all I listen to. I can give up one station though!
