Further to the above, I am currently (10 May 2014) in the process of fitting an 'aux-in' jack to a Radiomobile 1085X, and have used an earphone socket salvaged from a scrap stereo for this purpose. With a 10k resistor in series with each channel, this set-up works well, but there is breakthrough, admittedly quite a few dB below the external signal level. Any suggestions as to how to eliminate this without adding an additional switch would be welcome.
