Default Mini FM transmitter as a signal booster.

This has probably been done many times before but it occurred to me the other day while having problems receiving my (low power) local FM radio station around the house to connect a tuner on an external aerial tuned to the required station to a low power FM transmitter input to rebroadcast the signal at reasonable strength on a different FM frequency around the house. A sort of repeater if you like. The only problem I can foresee is that the tuner may be desensitized by having an in-band transmitter so close. A bit of experimenting is called for.
Apologies if this is a well tried and tested system already. Sometimes it takes me a while to twig!
Alan.
