- I have the opportunity to pick up an MGF radio from England at a fairly reasonable price... I like the idea of having an MG-badged radio in my MGB, but am especially keen on the anti-theft devices a

- I am not sure but I believe that Europe uses different frequencies for radio transmissions so that they might not be compatible with the frequencies in the States. You might want to check that befor

- I have heard that as well (from private posts)... actually, I'm likely to use it mostly as a conduit to my MP3 player via the cassette player. I'm able to buy it for a very reasonable price (less th

- I have replaced a few radios in my '78 B, which should have the same configuration as your '80. I found a Euro-DIN size radio (such as is probably in the MGF) fits just fine - you just need a file to

- Europe puts AM (medium-wave) stations at 9 kHz separation (530, 539, 548, 557) whereas in the US it's 10 kHz (so you have 730, 740, 750, et cetera). Europe has FM stations on even frequencies (106.8)

- That's good stuff. Definitely a switch from the old "Horn broke, watch for finger" bumper sticker. Yours would be "If there's a good song on, watch for finger" :) Kevin /// or try http://www.team.net

- Before you purchase the MGF radio, you might want to check that it will run in a non-MGF car. Many of the new OEM radios connect to the particular car's communication bus. They will not operate with

- European radios tune roughly the same bands, but FM is tuned in 100 kHz increments instead of the 200 kHz we use in the U.S. This is not really a problem, you just have to tune though more channels t
