[Mobile-Portable] How To Get Rig Power in Rental Car?

[Richard Whipkey]

Doc,

I have a standard 12 foot cable that came with my radio that I put large 
alligator clips on.  I connect directly to the battery and route the cable 
from under the hood through the passenger side door to the radio.

73,
