Dvb-t arrived yesterday as I was leaving for work.
Couldn't wait so I gave it a quick wire in to see how it goes when I got home.
Only manage to get ch31, but I'm hoping that's only because of the antennas that the unit came with.
You should first scan channels which Im sure you did.Quote:

@jaysee here you go the reason behind the 780mm and not the larger
one is so you will fit under most car ports, Im sick of breaking tips off
antenna. lol

Also ran a heap of wiring under the dash for a bank of switches.
What kind of switch should I be running on the bullbar for the winch?
I like that location Jaysee, well done mate, gonna have to copy that if ok mate! Can be easily reached in and out of cab if needed, GOLD :-) !Quote:

Yes, correct same as the one behind the centre console.
Thinking I might move that one to the rear cargo area. Kids don't care what volts there is.
Also did an oil and filter change on mine, the wife and the father in law cars.
Rotated my tyres and one side needed a wheel bearing nipped up, but couldn't find my cut 8mm Allen key.
And its 4.2A. I wonder if thats true. Most I've seen are only 1 or 2 amp. Barely enough for most devices these days. Might haveta get one I reckon.Quote:

Yeah good spot to you have it John. I have the antenna mast switch there but I dont use it as I have an am/fm whip antenna on the bull bar for this. You can never have enough usb charge ports.
Same.Quote:

FM whip and TV whip will be coming soon.
For the bullbar mate get 2 fully weatherproof momentary push buttons. I need to add the bullbar controls as well
G'day Winnie, sorry Jaysee for jumping your thread. What are "Momentary push buttons"I know it's descriptive in name, do you have a preferred brand or link we can learn from mate?Quote:

Something like this Mark, the switch only makes contact while you hold your finger. There is a spring release so as soon as you release your finger then the switch breaks contact to the solenoid.Quote:

YOU push to activate and when you take your finger off it closes the switch
No mate when you take your finger off it opens the switch and breaks the contact.Quote:

Personally a little weary though of SCA contact points type product longevity though through the mud and crud. Any top brands out there that comp blokes might be using, I dislike doing mods twice, thanks Mudski :-)
Not a problem at all Mark.Quote:

Cheers Jaysee mate! Safety aspect I'm thinking definitely 'Momentary' and not 'Switch' for us all. We all need to be in fine shape for the upcoming Donk party bro :-) !Quote:

I can just see somebody flicking the switch without you knowing, and when you hit the power isolator the winch starts reeling in and sucks the hook through the bar doing all kinds of damage.
Or getting hands caught in and crushing them too.
Yeah, good point.
Monentary pretty much replaces the old wired handheld. That's the way to go.
:-) Wired handheld's, dang I've ruined a few of those cords in the old days :-)Quote:

Another dumb question.
1.

Or
2.
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum.../2017/03/4.jpg
#2 and that little metal washer / plate goes underneath.
Thanks Eric.
Didn't even know that it came apart.
Jay see - separate your antennas by approx 300mm to avoid any potential interference, but saying that the most important thing is to get them as high as possible, ie mount on top rail of bar, have you thought of one antenna mounted on the bonnet or at the rear of vehicle. Be aware of keeping them legal, if I remember there is a size limit (diameter of antenna) that can be mounted n front of drivers side.
Thanks Coger.Quote:

I've decided not to have anything on the drivers side for the reason that you mentioned.
If the the TV doesn't work properly I'll rerun it to the roof rack.
Number 2 for sure and run an extra earth to the closestQuote:

so you have TV,,,UHF ,,whats the third ???
EDIT:::::AM_FM yes
30mm from memory is the thickest, it was cause ppl were mounting their VHF on the bullbarQuote:

Had some trouble with the antenna connection, got it working but will change it when Jay car get the correct ones in stock.
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2017/03/19.jpg
Is it called a sma connection to the head unit from the DBtV unit
Yeah, I know.
It's actually rca from the headunit to the HD box and the sma is from the aerial to the box.
Sunshine didn't have one to suit the rg59 cable, so gave me an adapter.
It's very sensitive tho. I was waiting to pick up my son and watched the early news on Ch 9, which was jumping in and out a bit, moved 5 metres forward and perfect on every single channel, until some lady parked in front of me and lost all the digital 10 & 7 channels.
Yeah a bit hit and miss sometimes, older cars will interfere a bit more ,,like faulty plug leads.Quote:

I'm hoping on fixing this with a proper connection or maybe a signal amplifier, if there is such a thing.Quote:

give Laser antenna a call thats all they do mainly is RV tv antennas
Well been a while since I've been on this post.
New battery arrived. Crap it's big.....
I want to free up space on top of the draws, so this big boy is going behind the left hand side draw.
I'm getting a 3mm plate from work for the battery to sit on.
I've got enough room to lay it flat, but will have less draw or sit it upright, but will make getting to the terminals a little harder.
One concern is heat and air circulation. That's why I cut out a large hole. If I find that it's too hot I made wire in a 12v fan.
What's it for now, just got to see if I can get someone at work to weld the end piece of the draw back on.http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum.../2018/02/7.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum.../2018/02/8.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum.../2018/02/9.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2018/02/10.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2018/02/11.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2018/02/12.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2018/02/13.jpg
