Small FM radio

[pig75]

I have fitted a small fm radio to my tinny. It seems to work really well
I got it off ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWNX%3AIT

If beef is in beef mince, What is in pet mince?

I often thought the same about baby oil.........

Did you add an antenna or just use the yellow wire?


Rabbit is in Rabbit stew, what is in Irish stew?

I really hope they are telling the truth when they say eat your greens as we might be a chance to thin them out a bit

Just the yellow wire it works great
The only problem is at night when it is very quite it is a bit loud on volume 1

I've ordered one of these, you should be able to put a resistor in series with the speaker to reduce the volume, I'll let you know how I go when it get here and installed

Pig, how do find the anchor light works from under there??.....jokin.

yer the resistor should do the trick..

[pig75]

I tried some 8 ohm resistors didn't drop the volume enough. I have some 100 ohm resistors i will try on the weekend. They need to be 5w resistors

Thinking that a 100 ohm maybe be too much, I think that volume is log to power no linear, any interesting to see how you go,

You could also try a variable resistor pot, that would let you fine tune the volume.

If you didn't want to keep the pot in the system you could buy one and temporarily fit it to the wiring. Set it to the best resistance, then disconnect it and measure the resistance. This would let you fit the proper size resistor.

Hey Pig75
you have had the radio in for a while now, how is it going?
Thanks

Still working fine
