[Icom] Temporary radio installations

[William Lambing]

Mac, I have not paid any attention to pickup's or much else.  I know =
that my Grand Prix has an "Aux" plug, identical to the cig lighter plug. =
 However, you mention a binding post.  Is this upstream or downstream =
from the aux plug you are using?  I read what you had posted.  Guess I =
did not understand what you were saying...I apologize.

Any kind of point contact device scares the beejeebies out of me.  As I =
said, been there...seen the results.  Don't know long you have been in =
electronics, but if you remember the early diodes, such as the 1N82 =
series and 1N22() series.  They may have been primarily for Microwave, =
but they were the point contact devices.  One reason why they could not =
handle much current..!  Diodes today are smaller and handle =
more...because the point contact version died (for which a lot of us are =
thrilled)..!!

Good luck with the install.  Used a Mag Mount (VHF) for a while....and =
replaced it by drilling a couple of holes in the trunk lid.  Range =
immediately improved..!

Cold....last week we were shivering....this week 70's and low 80's....no =
wonder people get sick..!
