We have a couple of old, pre-iPhone portable radios, neither of which has an external port that would accept and amplify an iPhone's audio. What do you do in such a situation? You google the problem. Lo! I found a fantastic You-Tube video on the subject by "The Post Apocalyptic Inventor," and here it is:
This brings out the, right now, completely frustrated amateur radio being that lives inside me, and so I am going to see if I can modify the two radios I have on hand. I will update this blog post as I proceed with the project.
At the threshold, I want to mention that I pulled out one of the radios from a trash pile a couple of weekends ago. (Raiding trash piles is a Stokes-male tradition in our family.) Our church was having one of its "work-days" and people were plundering the vacant Sunday School rooms and piling it all on a trash heap next to the rear parking lot. This radio (photo to be supplied) was among them. It had no electric cord and was full of batteries that were dead and bleeding acid into the battery compartment. So I took it home to nurse it back to health.
