am/fm radio

Post by gparker »

Does anyone have an idea for an AMFM panel mount that fits in the 6.5'' space? I want to listen to music and talk shows as well as my music from my iphone. Dont want to booger my panel or fill up my glove box. Also, what is the best 4 palce intercom?

Thought about that. I have XM in my truck and love it. But can't get Rush Limbaugh or my local stations. Thought about an old all-in-one ADF too. King made one. But that leaves out FM. A new intercom with an input for MP3 player or XM would work, but no am. Plus I want to get away from wires. What is the best intercom? Sigtronics? PS engineering? I see the Garmin comm radio has a two-place intercom built in, but I need four place. PS engineering makes a CD/FM/AM radio but I don't really need CDs in the age of MP3 and the units are quite pricey.

Found an AM/FM radio with input for MP3 player that is made for old classic cars. Looks like it would fit. Knobs are connected to radio only by wires so can be place wider or narrower according to your needs. Also looking at a PS engineering audio panel with built in intercom. Anyone know anything about them?

I have a PS Enineering intercom and love it. I forget which one but it might be the PM1000 II. It is not stereo. I installed a phone plug jack so I can plug in an MP3 player. My MP3 player also has an AM/FM radio built in. I sometimes also play MP3s off my phome. The only negative is if I sing along it faids out the music for a few seconds thiking I was trying to use the radio. I usually just pull the mike away from my mouth when listening to music on a x-country.

How do you know it thinks that? Maybe it's just horrified! :lol:
