Community Q&A
- QuestionI carried out all instructions in the article, but I'm getting very few stations and lot of static. Do I need an an aerial to receive good reception?
Community AnswerYou need a proper antenna. Otherwise, the radio won't get enough signal. Also, use a good quality wire for connecting the antenna to the radio. - QuestionIs the procedure the same for a 24 pin connector?
Guna VardhanCommunity AnswerThe 24pin Header will only go in one way. Check the pin header carefully for damage and make sure none of the pins are bent. AS you have RMA'd the board, I'd suggest the issue is with the Pin Header or if it's an older PSU, it may predate current ATX 2.2 power connection standards. - QuestionWhat PSU should I use for this?
Community AnswerAny PSU from a PC should work. You can either buy one or try to find an old one from a computer. It doesn't matter how many W it is, or whether it's modular or not.
