Recommended Posts

Someone mentioned about the beesting aerial having an amp in it and needing a current to turn it on But How????

Still got the old radio?

 

I so, did you take out the little box or short tube connected to the aerial socket which had a single fly lead. If so, you have removed the aerial amplifier's isolator which supplies +12 volts up the centre signal wire to the aerial base but not the radio (uses a high frequency capacitor to isolate the DC from the radio input connection).

 

Later Corrado's power their aerial amplifier in the mast base by putting +12 volts up the aerial wire while isolating this from the radio.

 

I assume radio reception particularly on MW & LW was OK before changing the installation?? If the little devide was missing then FM would have be a bit weak and MW/LW almost none existant.
