One potential issue with that is that nearby FM radios (including those in passing cars) will hear your RX. It's a real PITA to be driving along listening to NPR or a jazz station and have someone's rock and roll crap over-ride it. A related question though -- will there be an audio output that can drive a speaker? There are a fair number of decent speakers that can work quite well in a mobile environment with moderate driving power, especially if they are well located for the listener. I'm thinking things like the previously cited Motorola speakers, and also some compact "mini-cube" speakers I've found at hamfests. I've seen very nice installations using these sorts of speakers in mobile applications -- some in a head rest, some clipped to a visor in front of the driver. One watt to a speaker like this would work quite well. 73, Jim Brown K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
