The AR1000 in your Car

Listening to the AR1000 in your car

Since the AR1000 is a handheld unit, it can travel whereever you go. You can

optimize using it in your car with several accessories.

Use the supplied cigarette adaptor to power it when in your car. This will keep

you from running down the batteries. Be sure to keep the unit powered off

whenever you start the car, to prevent the chance of a dangerous voltage spike

from damaging the unit.

While the AR1000 has very good volume capability, you may still have some

difficulty hearing it over the car and road noise. A very effective way to amplify

the output of the AR1000 is to run it through your car stereo. You will need a

car tape player to use this technique.

Most record shops sell a device that lets you play CDs through your car stereo

even if you don’t have a built-in CD player. The device looks like a typical audio

cassette and plugs into your tape player. A wire comes from the cassette and plugs

into the earphone jack of your portable CD player. The sound is then sent

through your tape player to your stereo.

You can simply put the plug into the earphone jack of the AR1000. Then you

use the volume and tone controls of your car stereo to control the sound of your

scanner. The difference in sound quality is spectacular. These devices sell uni-

formly for $19.99. Radio Shack also carries one (Cat. 12-1951) for the same

price.

If you don’t have a tape player in your car, you can use the Radio Shack Ampli-

fied Speaker (Cat. 21-541) for $24.99. It contains a 7.5 watt amplifier and also

runs off your car cigarette lighter.

You can also use your regular car antenna as a scanner antenna. You can get 30 to

960 MHz reception without adding an additional antenna. All you need to do is

tap off of your car antenna. Grove sells a Mobile Antenna Multicoupler for

$16.95 (Model CPL-63B) which does the trick without requiring you to drill

holes, use magnets or run cables through the window. It splits the car antenna

cable so that one lead goes to your radio and the other goes to your scanner. This

model has BNC connectors. You can also order model CPL-63M which comes

with PL-259 connectors.

With these items, you can run your scanner in your car with great sound, great

reception, and not have to worry about batteries running down.
