Let's get rid of the wires. Rechargeable or AA battery powered compact
remote mountable Bluetooth GPS and WX/XM radio transceivers? Garmin
already makes the G10, a little handy dandy Bluetooth GPS smaller than
a large pack of gum. WXWorx already makes a Bluetooth Weather and XM
radio transceiver.
How do the Bluetooth devices react when you press the PTT button and hurl
several watts of amplitude-modulated fire into the ether from an antenna
that's only a few feet away?
If you have a metal airplane, at least the COM antenna is on the other
side of the metal, but I still wonder how well it would work.
