Thanks Martin,
Good question, I've been very happy with the Samsung S8, but at nearly 3years old it's just not worth replacing the screen.
So something that's not huge, with a decent camera, nfc, good battery life and decent Bluetooth standards for my headphones. And something I can get a good case for as it's bound to get dropped.
Was looking at the Poco f3, Samsung a52 and the oppo.
Looks like the poco has the worst camera, but the best chip set.

Just cracked the screen on my Samsung S8 so on the search for a new phone. Bit out of touch with the latest generations of phones any recommendations?

I have to say so far Spotify Connect has worked perfectly, as compared to the LMS implementation which was always a gamble if anything would play.

Just started using it on a ATB, but mainly use Spotify Connect, and configured my logitech media server to use it a a Upnp endpoint as the squeezesoft player plugin is supported on ATB.

By comparison, the BT/EE router in the music room is getting only 22ms ping but a slower 22M download speed. Perfectly adequate for streaming, of course. If the external 4G antenna I have on order for the Huawei is successful in improving signal strength, I'll buy another one for the TP-Link. What antenna did you go with Martin and how much gain does it have?

Well having jumped on the Oehlbach reclocker that Brian was selling a few months ago and Martin's Asus Tinker Board I finally have a new streamer up and running to match the Topping D70.
So far it's sounding very nice and significant improvement from the Bushmaster 2 and squeezebox touch.
Next is to look at power for the Oehlbach reclocker and ATB as they are both running off standard switch mode Psu's.
Then USB cables I currently have the one supplied with the Oehlbach between the ATB and the reclocker and a Russ Andrews lead from the reclocker to the D70.

There's a company called Panorama antennas who produce some great aerials for this type of application but can be a little expensive. They are pretty much the industry standard for blue light vehicles.

Do you have the option of fitting an external high gain antenna?
Although you'll need to keep the cable run from the antenna to the router as short as possible. Otherwise any gain made from the antenna will be lost in cable attenuation.
Can you put the Sim in a phone or put the router on an extension lead and see what the signal outside is like? Depending upon the building construction and band 3 are using in your area you can get alot of loss.

Yellow spot is very nice, I'd say smoother than red breast 12.

Looks like a great option for the price. Any advice on the best place to buy an ATB at the moment?

That makes more sense, thought the PFC box looked like calipers.

I'm uprating my brakes today. It looks like being a nice day so that's a bonus. Is that new calipers as well Martin?
