This is not very vintage - well, most of it is not
yesterday afternoon I was doing a bit on Daffodil, noting special, just a bit of interior work... I had the DAB radio adaptor on and it slowly started to do odd things and then it failed
It became very insensitive ad would barely pull in a signal... very annoying when listening to the rugby
I removed it from Daffodil and move it to the radio workshop with the intention of returning it under warranty...
Just before packing it up I tried it again...
Remarkably it performed perfectly on test on the bench powered from a mobile phone booster battery pack...
The DAB receiver is working with this little magmount aerial with my Leak workshop amp. case acting as a ground-plane!
The receiver is now on long test and seems OK... I can only assume it's not happy when it's very cold.... It certainly was very, very chilly in the garage with all the doors open yesterday afternoon
Note my AVO in the background still waiting patiently for reassembly!
I will report back after it's been tested for a longer period but if it is that it fails in the cold then that's poor although it's not unique these days... My old Tom Tom satnav used to refuse to boot when it was cold in the car and the flatscreen TV I use in the conservatory for my Zwift virtual cycling plays up when the weather is cold too, often taking several attempts to get it to boot...
