Title: am/fm radio for my 01 B12 S ??
Post by: pdorman on July 19, 2010, 06:32:22 PM

Sold the Voyager to mount  a 01 B12 and have it ready to tour but i'm missing my radio. I loved tuning in to the local AM sports station and catching our local baseball games.  Trying to figure something out that will work and not look too clunky....  any ideas?

Thanks
Phil

How about something you can slip in your pocket and plug earbuds into?  Some of the ipods and the like have FM radio capability, not sure about AM though.

I'm using a Scala g4 headset, I dont think it handles AM, but it handles FM and streaming bluetooth fine.

I too love local radio, and am/fm pocket radios do the job. I have a Sony am/fm, you can pick them up at Walmart, or Radio Shack for $30 or less. A set of earbuds ???? JVC I believe runs about $20. I am tuned up and localized.

Thanks guys, I have put helmet speakers in and am using a digital am/fm radio clipped to my tank bag now.   I need to try earbuds instead, it gets a little hard to hear the helmet speakers at highway speeds.  My other issue is motor noise coming through the radio when listening to am mostly but some on fm.   Maybe the sony radio would work better, I will give it a shot...

My little Sony radio "DOES NOT? rest in a tank bag. Put it in a pocket. You will be very happy. Get back and let us know what you think.
