| Homemade XM Portable#2 - BestTimesNow | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This is a low profile, homemade portable unit that I made to use with my Sony XM tuner. I used the parts from the my other portable for making this unit. I used a 6V battery for a Play & Ride, kids riding vehicle. This battery will last over 6 hours on a charge, if the display back-light is turned off. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| I used a Terk antenna. I also used a headphone amplifier and attached it with Velcro tape. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| I used an inline volume control, attached to the headphone amplifier, for the headphones. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I left the battery connection outside the box for easy hook-up to the battery charger. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
