Only 50 people reading this forum?  Come on!

There are currently 3,725 registered users on the forum, but it would be an interesting exercise for @Gryzor to analyse how many of them are currently active (i.e. have logged in within a certain period of time).

Yeah unfortunately the forum doesn't do that, I'm afraid. I could dig into the db of course and do manual queries, but it requires quite some looking around

If the audio output is connected to the sound line on the expansion port, the radio would be heard in the CPC speaker.

Whaaaat? What's this?!

nothing spectacular. It's a FM module that is controlled by the CPC. I would expect a simple address decoding logic activates the FM IC which gets the data from the data bus. The IC does all the radio logic including sound output. 

In short: your CPC controls a radio IC but you won't listen to a radio with your CPC.

Check whether transistors Q3,4,5 between the base and the emitter have approximately 0.7 V
Connect nsync to the sound line. You should hear a 50hz buzz in your headphones. Try connecting the LUM signal straight to the TV video input.

Been following the Mastodon official stats for a while now out of morbid curiosity. The platform has been losing about 1000 users a day, steadily, for months now. It's probably going to drop below 900k active users this week. It's a pity, but the writing was on the wall from the beginning...
