Thanks Craig, I'll write up something in ICE - Works really well. Had to also design something to shorten the Hirschmann to match the 1.5M VHF (1/4 wave or 37.5cm extension) but allow full length outside metro areas for analogue. I have it transmit on 107.9Mhz and the Becker plays it perfectly - The quality is much better than general broadcast FM and AM stations. Pure Highway 300 is the brand I got second hand for $120. Have been using the same one in the wagon for years. The newer versions (Pure Highway 400 and 500) come with Blutooth and Spotify interfaces but the boys are fine with a 3rd party Blutooth adaptor (MPow) for $15 which connects to the Pure Highway AUX In which in turn retransmits to the Becker, and let the phone do the talking ......

Very impressive, people like you should get an Order of Australia for services to the classic car movement.

The local Pionciana trees are flowering here in North Queensland, oh and the CE is ready for a Sunday drive.

Here is my newest addition to the garage, a W123 1979 280CE coupe. She is a little rough around the edges, had been sitting idle for 9 years but in pretty good knick with little rust. Got her in the garage for a good once over...! They really are a great car !!
