FM/DAB digital radio - THAT WORKS!!

Hi Guys,

Will be happy to post some results about the experience with my antenna. I am just getting smashed at work at the moment, so struggling to find the time. Also, my carputer it out while I try and figure out why my plug-in wont work.

Craig - you mentioned a while ago that there was going to be a newer version of the CF plugin that may fix some noise issues, is this out yet? I would like to try it to see if (for some random reason) my CF will find it and let me add it to a button.

Thanks, Tom.

is this of use?

Tried http://cgi.ebay.com/Autoleads-PC6-53...es_CarParts_SM and it didn't work correctly for me but I think it depends on the aerial / antenna you have.

When i press ok one station is plaing and list is empty, nothing to choice.

I should of made this a bit clearer but http://www.craigbrass.net/centrafuse.zip is the latest version. Thing is, though, we changed the way it works. You now use < and > on the main window to select a station (< and > scan between and leaving it for 2 seconds selects that station) and then you press Add to add that station to your favourites list. The idea is, only your common stations go there. << and >> then just scans through your common stations while you are still able to use < and > to get other stations.

We are still working on it. It requires a code change to the way we handle audio. Sadly, this has stopped the ability to select a line in port (if there are multiple) so that has slowed us down a bit.

friggin aussie post has prolly lost it..
did you happen to look into tracking it? i've looked but the tracking seems to stop when leaving UK. i think..

Bugga. Nar sorry, cos it arrived so soon I never needed to track it (didn't know I could to be honest).

Sometimes when my posty delivers packages to me, the idiot forgets to leave a note and just dumps the package straight to my nearest post office without me knowing. So, perhaps give your nearest post office a call and see if its sitting there waiting for you.

Have you tried and type in the tracking number in the Aussie post homepage?
The UK post will stop tracking when it leaves UK.
I'm leaving in sweden and when I got my package I could use the uk tracking number in the swedish post page to see the status of my package. I would guess the same thing is possible for you

I tried that when he contacted me. When I post stuff to the USA, it tracks on their site but Aus Post clearly don't track or don't have any public screen to access that does it sadly.

I had Craig send it to a PO Box so that it didn't get stolen etc !!
Hey, you never know it might still show up tomorrow lol...
IT BETTER !!

But it's going to take me a little longer to get going on it anyway now as it seems as though the starter motor has died.. have to fix that first now...
Just so everyone is clear, I'm not blaming Craig for this.. Craig has done what he can to find it, and so have i.. But as usual Aussie Post fails..

Thanks for making that clear, Sledge1. This is the first one I have had go missing actually. Royal Mail International Signed For is rather reliable but they do require me to wait 21 days before I can put a claim in.

Speaking of which.. it says 'signed for'
and with the tracking number.. doesn't that imply being able to track where it is etc?? lol..
just a thought..

You'd think so but it depends on the country. In the USA, if I post something from here, the number can be used in their tracking systems and I think it shows you the signature online. Other countries they ask for a signature on delivery but you have to specifically request the signature through Royal Mail. Aus appears to be one of the latter.

With regard to all you foreign doods trying to get an aerial, I bought one of these and so far has proven to be a good product. The FM signal has made my silabs a more usable device than with the original VW aerial, although I haven't received my DAB module yet to test that side of it I expect it to be just as good.

I also noticed on their site (and a great company to deal with I might add) that they have a magnetic one listed as 'INCLUDES Royal Mail International Signed for to all destinations OUTSIDE EU.'.
