[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 171655, member: 4485"] Thanks Lee - you finding the Jaycar set up got me going! Thought I might as well try a different type or types to compare & report back on this thread so people can see some different choices etc. + my local Jaycar didn't have them at the time I went in so I did some more searching for alternatives :lol: That small, but really reliable booster is something I will keep a look out for. I think of the retail Australian made types the Treasuremate II (VK8014 new model) shows the most promise. Maybe a little bulky to some (I find it good) but it is a speaker/booster unit in one which I prefer to creating more joins (joins equal points of failure to me). [url]http://www.vkteksolutions.com/[/url] The new VK8014 model has a replaceable cable. I had used the old type VK8024 which had a fixed cable & the only issue I ever had with it was when I started to use it on the SDC the cable failed (no fault of the unit as it was designed with the GPX/GP/SD etc. in mind no doubt & not to be run out to a machine that is constantly being put down/picked up + otherwise moved around) so having the replaceable cable is a great improvement for SDC users especially if hardwired.
