Diversity aerial amplifier retrofit?

rimpak · 7th December 2016, 13:41

Is it possible? Or would I have to swap the rear window aswell?

I do have the connectors from the diversity aerial amplifier.

I checked my HRW, and it seems that there are only two connectors, and not four like in the picture bellow.. Sad.

The aerial amplifier fitted to later 75's and ZT's has only two connections. The rear window spec. was changed at the same time. The diversity part of the rear window was dropped. Leaving you nowhere to make the extra two connections.
You also need a lead with very small coax plugs at each end to connect the radio to the aerial amplifier, [top right in your picture]

The diversity system was only used with the Symphony radio and the Hi Line system.

It has proved difficult get a retro fitted diversity system to work, one or two have tried without success.
