16MHZ RADIO BAND EXPANDER

This Radio Band Expander (also known as a Wave Expander or FM Frequency Expander) enables the original equipment radio in Japanese import cars to receive UK radio stations by shifting the UK transmission FM frequencies into the band that the Japanese radio will detect. For example, shifting a UK radio station that transmits at 99.5MHz by 16 MHz will allow the station to be received by the Japanese Radio at 83.5MHz.

Japanese radios have a bandwidth of 14MHz (76-90MHz) compared to the UK bandwidth of 20MHz (88-108MHz), hence a certain band of frequencies will be lost in the shifting process although Radio 2 can be received in it's normal place in strong signal areas.

The unit has a standard aerial socket end so requires an adapter set to suit and models that use a different aerial connector. The unit may differ in appearance to the one shown.
