True Stereo RF Modulators ?

Hello,

I am looking for a RF Modulator that outputs true stereo (MTS) on the RF cable output to send to other TVs in other rooms.

Channel 3/4 output is sufficient, although an inexpensive agile RF modulator would be good, too.

Some RF modulators with stereo inputs actually just put mono into the RF output, and I have not been able to find anything inexpensive that specifies whether the output is stereo.

I've found some references on the web to a RS unit that people verified has stereo output - but that unit is now discontinued.

So, are there any inexpensive RF modulators that people have verified to have stereo output ? Thanks !

That's a good value for the price, but I'm still hoping for a garden variety ch3/ch4 one that someone knows has stereo output from using it. There are a number of $20-$30 units with s-video input and dual audio inputs that might have an MTS-stereo IC chip, like the now-discontinued Radio Shack unit had. It usually requires someone to have verified it from use, as none of the specifications say eithe mono or stereo output. :(
 
Someone PM'ed me that Radio Shack still sells the 15-2525 as part of the 15-2541 "installation kit", which is now priced for clearance at $19.99 (includes several cables).
My local RS did not stock this, and they don't participate in the "free ship-to-store" program. So, I checked ebay and someone is selling the 15-2541 kit new for $7 plus a padded shipping price. But that enabled me to buy two kits for the same price as one from RS.
I've come across three different threads at Forums where people verified that the RS modulator outputs true stereo; here is one:

i have a Radio Shack RF Modulator that actually modulates to an MTS Stereo Signal. My test (so I dont have to hunt down a channel) is done by using an MP3 I created with one song in the left channel and a completely differnet song in the right channel and feed that baseband audio into the RF modulator and then feed that via channel 3 or 4 into the DT.
Very easy to tell Stereo (seperate audio) or Mono (mixed in both speakers)
I'm giving all this info to help anyone who comes across this thread later and is looking for the same thing.
