[Mobile-Portable] Re: Fascinating Accessory to Ham Gear

[Gary Pearce KN4AQ]

They don't mention a digital TV tuner.  If it receives only analog TV, that 
part of the device will become useless in Feb. 2009.  Perhaps that's why 
the "bargain" price.

I'll let someone else be the first to buy one and write up a review.
