This little package could be useful for looking an rfi source. Doesnt 
attract attention while your doing it to boot. Bill / WD8ARZ in NW 
Indiana ... out

==========================================

We all enjoy our radios, but sometimes rfi can be a pain. Wanting to 
know what is going on around me is important to me, so a small standard 
battery am / fm radio is needed..... and it turned out to be a good rfi 
tracking radio with out attracting those that would misunderstand what 
your doing. What I ended up choosing is details below, and it is very 
very inexpensive 73 from Bill / WD8ARZ in N.W Indiana.
===========================================

Great emergency very portable am/fm radio so small it can be in your 
pocket all the time and you wont notice it.

To listen to your radio and not attract attention, I suggest earbuds. 
They are small enough to carry easily in a pocket too. They work very 
well with this very small am/fm radio that I have with me all the time. 
http://memorex-ce.com/product/amfm-pocket-radio/ Was very surprised to 
find that the sensitivity and selectivity of this super small am/fm 
radio is very good. This radio uses standard AAA batteries too. Both the 
radio, spare batteries, and earbuds will fit in a very very small zip 
snack bag

Even though ear buds come with the radio, they are not very comfortable 
for me to wear, especially if I am laying down. The stereo earbuds below 
are small enough in your ear you can actually fall asleep with them and 
they wont bother you.
