They are on the net as roadmasterusa.com. However, their trade label is
VR3. Mine is now discontinued and they've upgraded to a slightly more techy
version of the same thing.

Call your local WalMarts and ask the automotive department if they have any
of those $88 special radios with the USB port.

A jump drive is usually just a chip based memory device, anywhere from 256
to 4G. I have an older one which is a card reader, essentially, taking SD
cards. Very inexpensive at places like eCost.com where I got mine; a 1G
multifast SD card these days is like $8 after rebate...

Better yet - no moving parts - get an automotive unit with a jump drive
USB
input.

My $88 WalMart unit reads CD/DVD/MP3/WMA in the slot, the USB reads wma
and
mp3, 180 watts into 4 speakers and the current unit even has a remote...


So is there a brand name for this thing? Also, I have never heard of a
jump drive.

Our original thought was ipod but we'll never carry one, and jump drives
are
ultra cheap.

A gig will last a great long while of music; you could buy bigger if you
needed more time on the air, but ...

No moving parts...

See my gallery for examples in recent months...

Am needing a small, good sounding stereo system for a small sailboat.
Only
need AM FM and CD. What's a decent system with speakers at a decent
price.
Don't need sirius or xm or marine weather.
Thanks
Gordon
