Hi Guys, Did you want somebody to report from down under (5th corner of the globe) If yes how can I help and what sort of format contet etc would you need on a monthly basis. Cheers

Hey that's pretty cool, Lots less to go wrong, I may just upgrade on my next pack. Cheers

Congrats Boss, Good to have you leading the way. Anything you think I can help with down under, just let me know. Cheers

Having the amp brings the volume up a long way, I can't always hear it when there is a big crowd but can hear it when the crowd noise dies down ( and that with bucket on fan running) Only draw back I've noticed is you get a lot of folks taking photos of your back!! Lol Cheers Glad you like

Really nice Boss, like the switches, can't get the long ones here. Cheers

Hi, here is my radio set up, The sd card player, amp and voltage regulator all come from Jaycar in Australia but I have listed the specs so you should be able to find the same in USA. The speaker is under the brown cover and is laudable because I have drilled out the holes in the face like it would have been in the original. switches again jay car but nothing special. Hope this helps. Cheers A fantastic little MP3 player module perfect for home audio applications.
