Default Re: Television reception in the car

When I worked in Manchester on field service, a colleague modified a Bush TV53 by wiring the heaters in parallel and making an inverter for the HT.

When he drove around with it in his company Mk 1 Escort, and using a whip aerial from the RT, it sort of worked (on Band I and Band III), but there was a lot of ghosting (obviously) and "aircraft flutter".

The battery lasted about ten minutes with the engine switched off, as well.

Ian abandoned the idea quite soon.
