Sticks on a single station, basically rendering it useless:
I'm giving up on my iTrip, like I had previously given up on my iMic (Belkin). It seems to have short-term amnesia and keeps returning to 88.5 anytime I try changing it to another (clear) channel. Even just pausing a song is enough for it to revert to 88.5. Generally it will let me switch to another channel a couple of times, switch back to 88.5 each time, and then after that it won't even acknowledge attempts to switch it anymore.

Very good, albeit not perfect, solution:

a little broadcasting gem:
The itrip is pretty cool... did a nice job on a four hour drive I recently took. The only difficulty is that you have to keep changing the station as you drive through different cities, depending on the available frequencies for each area. They list the available frequencies for different areas on their website, but that's a heck of a lot of additional research to do just to listen to your music. It's easy to set up otherwise. I'll keep using it until cars come standard with ipod inputs.
