MP3 Players/Accessories for Boat Use?

Although it had line level outputs in addition to the RF, I didn't feel like removing the radio in the car I had at the time to connect the lines. These units have a switch to select one of about 5 frequencies that it will transmit to the FM radio in the car. It sounded excellent, except I found that while traveling back and forth to Florida, local FM stations would occasionally interfere with the selected freq. Solved that problem by simply removing the car antenna for the duration of the trip. Eisboch You know of course that when you remove the antenna, your diesel truck craps out. You may be right. There are window stickers that warn against using any type of transmitting equipment within some vehicles, including cell phones without an external antenna. The RF can screw up the vehicle computer. This wasn't the case with my infamous F-350. I never used the Sirius receiver in it. Since it was fixed the second time, all has been fine (knock on wood). The true test will be next month. I am going to deliver Eisboch Jr.'s Fatboy to Norfolk. Hopefully, this trip will be uneventful, unlike the last two long distance voyages. Eisboch |
