| 1446558 | 2018-02-22 23:10:00 | Another tweak that is easy to do with those cheapheadphones/sender I referenced is to retune the sender to the bottom of the FM band say 87.6MHz out of the way of any regular FM broadcast. An FM radio can then be used instead of the phones. The phones will also still work as they have an automatic fine tuning circuit that will lock on to the higher frequency. The sender normally operates at 86 MHz, just below the normal FM band. |

| 1446559 | 2018-02-22 23:12:00 | I have had stuff from aliexpress but haven't heard of wish.com, are they as reliable as aliexpress.? With Wish.com, they often take about 4 weeks for goods to arrive. One thing I like about wish, is if theres been a problem, they sort it right away, unlike aliexpress that take a month or more. Got a dispute with a supplier from aliexpress having to wait a month to get the refund :annoyed: Wish have a good policy - they give X amount of days for the goods to arrive (generally about a month) if they have not, you contact them, they add in another week, IF the goods still have not arrived they refund you your money by the following day. Several times SWMBO has ordered things, didn't arrive within the time, got a refund and the goods turn up a few days later. She contacted them several times when this has happened, they simply replied - didn't arrive in time - keep the refund and goods. Aliexpress has more electronic items than Wish. Once ordered 4 SD micro cards from Wish, 1 was faulty, they refunded the whole four, and I was told to keep the 3 good ones. The last thing I ordered was a USB adapter for 2.5HDD, only cost $5 for shipping, no charge for the actual adapter. Works a treat, no need for external drive cases any more :) 8706 |

| 1446563 | 2018-02-23 06:52:00 | Is the retune esay. An old Ham but a bit passed it now!!. There is just one slug tuned inductor which can be adjusted with a small non-metallic trimmer screwdiver, and use an FM radio to set the frequency. A twin feed simple wire dipole can also be soldered in which increases the range somewhat. |

| 1446564 | 2018-02-23 19:24:00 | Thanks Terry. Simple when you no how. They might be a cheap replacement when my Sennheiser phones give up. | Pato (2463) | ||

An FM radio can then be used instead of the phones. The phones will also still work as they have an automatic fine tuning circuit that will lock on to the higher frequency. The sender normally operates at 86 MHz, just below the normal FM band. That's similar to the in car mini wireless MP3 players plugged in a 12V socket. Tune the player to a unused FM channel on your car stereo to transmit/play audio from SD/USB/Aux in the mini player to car stereo. Bluetooth becoming more ubiquitous for audio transfer. I recently bought a bluetooth tower Veon speaker system (www.thewarehouse.co.nz) (warehouse link) to play playlists/files from YouTube or android apps (e.g. musixhub (https://www.musixhub.com/), jango, etc). Though don't think can connect a Bluetooth earphone simultaneously, because my android phone (transmitting audio) is already connected to the speaker system. Probably some apparatus/software could transmit audio selectively, say via a remote, to bluetooth speaker(s), earphones and other devices - doing away with a physical switch. |

| 1446566 | 2018-02-26 00:53:00 | It came, it worked. However the headphones are ****, so ordered some Sennheiser. The wireless headphones I had been using for about 5 years were Sennheiser. I had Sky when I first got them, and had the Sennheiser base station plugged into the Sky box audio outlets (via RCA cords). That was fine for Sky, but I don't think it worked for other devices such as the DVD player/recorder - I can't remember now because I haven't had Sky for three years. I know I had the headphones connected to the DVD player/recorder at some stage, so maybe there was a way of watching Sky through the recorder? |
