Will just have to see what happens once I have all the parts assembled !... I have ordered the amp module, cable and aerial extension cable ( which I will cut in half and use both ends for in / out.. ) Once I have the amp module, I will nip down to Maplins and find a suitably sized project box for it to fit into...as small as possible !.. I am back up to Scotland in a couple of weeks so it would be a good test !.. Watch this space...

24 votes now and only 4 out of those say they have no issues at all...
I now have all the bits I need to start building the new Radio Signal Amp.. Will probably build it at the weekend and then test for a while before I can confirm if it works well or not... Will post pics and progress soon !.. Mark

Amp built !
All,
27 Votes now with only 5 votes for no issues at all !...also intersting to see that there are more people without a splitter that with !..but then, that could account for the 5 votes with no issues ! I decided to just crack on and build the amp this afternoon... My soldering skills are OK...but could do with a smaller tipped soldering iron !.. Not 100% convinced I have the capicitors orientated the correct way as there was nothing in the kit to indicate if they needed to go in a specific way...time will tell ! See below .... Total cost...just under £20...+ 1hr 1/2 in total to put together and sort the box etc.. With any luck I will be able to try it tomorrow... Will let you know how I get on !!!

Good luck with this.I wouldn't personally order a DD until the radio reception/TMC issues have been satisfactorily and permanently resolved.

Well done Mark.
Those capacitors are ceramic and are non-polarised. Hope it fixes the radio problem for you.

Those caps are ceramic, so it doesn't matter which way they go in. Electrolytics and tantalium caps do have to be fitted the correct way.
