ZippyVR6 0 Posted May 8, 2005 300 nicker for a radio and I cant even get the reception to bring up RDS. Someone mentioned about the beesting aerial having an amp in it and needing a current to turn it on But How???? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RW1 0 Posted May 8, 2005 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.
