| 1148474 | 2010-10-29 07:49:00 | That’s exactly the problem Billy. You have the “Native Bandwidth” and the “Expanded Bandwidth” overlapping at times. (Especially if the two stations are 14MHz or there about apart). I also think the “Expander” bit is a misnomer too because it’s a “Bandwidth Shift” as opposed to a “Bandwidth Expansion”. Anyway, this whole “Expander” spiel is a load of Hogwash as far as I’m concerned because it only works under “Ideal” conditions and for those who just want music from somewhere, some of the time. ;) |

| 1148475 | 2010-10-30 08:57:00 | ... The only answer was to ditch the Jap Radio and fit a NZ model. For $300, fitted, I got a nice little AM/FM radio that uses the NZ radio spectrum complete with a CD player that will play MP3’s. I’m afraid as far as I can see that was the only real way to solve the issue. :crying + 1 That's the best solution. Forget about the 'so-called' band expanders - it's a waste of your time and money. |

| 1148476 | 2010-11-01 05:22:00 | I have owned a few Jap imports. Usually the "expander" was 10mhz or 12. They all suffered from weak signals. I think that if you want good reception you need to fit a NZ model radio. Lots of imports coming in with TVs, which also do not work. | gradebdan (2186) | ||
| 1148477 | 2010-11-01 06:24:00 | And we won't go into the import GPS units that require a $$M$$ DVD continuously inserted to work - badly. A real radio and a real GPS solve the problems. |
