\"S7600\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Many thanks to SWLing Post reader, Ron Wagner, who writes:<\/p>\n

Thanks very much for your informative SWL pages. With the, seemingly, shortsighted, contracting world of SW broadcasters, you keep our interest alive!<\/em><\/p>\n

Recently, you called attention to Jay Allen\u2019s modification and installment of a new speaker for the Satellit 800. Not quite ready to open up my 800, even with a scratchy volume pot, I setout to find another way, not only for the 800, but for all of those older radios that \u201cSWLers\u201d love.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"J-Tech\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Walla, a Bluetooth TX\/RX device (by JETech Designs)<\/a> which connects to the headphone or external speaker jack of the radios. Then, with a Bluetooth speaker, put the TX\/RX device on TX and pair with the speaker, and your off to an audio improvement in all of your radios.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"G_G3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"G_800a\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Attached, see the TX\/RX with my 800, G3 and ICF 7600 and my outdoor Bluetooth speaker. With today\u2019s Bluetooth speakers, you can spend to suit your budget and ears. Now, I\u2019m on my way to find Bluetooth headphones to pair with the Bluetooth transmitter.<\/em><\/p>\n

What a simple and relatively affordable idea, Ron. I had been considering the purchase of a Bluetooth receiver for the AUX in port in my minivan’s audio system. If I understand correctly, this one unit can both send and receive Bluetooth audio. \u00a0Very cool!<\/p>\n

I could also imagine someone placing their shortwave portable outside–on a patio or deck–away from indoor radio interference, and using the Bluetooth link to port audio to a speaker inside the house. You wouldn’t have tuning control (and you’d have to remember to bring the radio inside if rain is in the forecast–!), but you would have audio control.<\/p>\n

Looks like this JETech receiver\/transmitter is available on Amazon<\/a> or directly from JETech<\/a>. Thanks again for the tip, Ron!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
