Re: [doc] Craig Radio



Hi All

hope this may help.

I have a bit of experience with odd stereo frequencies as i have
imported a few cars from Japan.

In Japan they are out be 10. A small band expander fitted between the
aerial down lead 'jumps' the frequencies. Hence the displays are 10
out but pick up all UK stations.

I have one and will take apart to see if it can be adapted. Depends
if there is a variable capacitor/choke inside or if it is crystal
controlled (though a different crystal may do it).

If i manage to get to work i'll let you know. Have to wait a few days
at least as i don't collect the car till Thursday and its a non
runner so plenty of jobs to do.

Regards

Steve
