Title: Import Radio - can it work on UK frequencies
Post by: juzzyp on August 11, 2007, 08:42:37 AM
Just bought my RX7 and been fiddling with the stereo with has a bizarre frequency range from 71 to 90MHz on the FM band, I presume it\'s a Japanese one.

Is there anyway I can get this to work on the UK radio band 88-108MHz - it also doesn\'t seem to raise the aerial unles it\'s a manual one on the RX7.

It plays CD\'s and MP3\'s which isn\'t a problem but it\'s kind of essential since radio is my job.

Same boat as me mate, got an FC last night and the radio is the same. I think we need to buy an expander, cant think they will be more than around £15 (well im hoping not)

Im sure someone in the know will come along and point us in the right direction. Although might not get an answer until monday:rolleyes:

Yeah it is just the radio expander you want, or buy a UK radio.

This is the expander....

I\'ve just got to make the aerial work and I\'ll be away.

Thanks
