Got the radio installed in the sidecar yesterday.
Yeah, I know, the install isn't symmetric. Had to go with what worked. First impression is a resounding 'MEH'. It has a loose wire antenna instead of mast and the steel tub shields a lot of signal. The antenna is hardwired into the radio instead of plugged in. If I can figure out how to do it, I'll solder in a plug and lead, then run a mast.
The radio is FM only, has a 24 hr clock, and will accept an mp3 player such as an ipod. There are 18 presets available and it has auto search. The problem with the presets is that the instructions are lacking on how to do it. I will need to have one of the grandkids program it if I can't figure it out.
Now to the important part, sound and volume. On the local stations I can pickup due to the antenna, they come in crystal clear and the volume will drown out a Harley with straight pipes.
If it doesn't work out on the sidecar, It will end up on the CX.
