- Springboard Modules (http://discussion.visorcentral.com/vcforum/forumdisplay.php?forumid=10)
-- AM/FM module? (http://discussion.visorcentral.com/vcforum/showthread.php?threadid=11249)

Consider this an unscientific poll...

You can (theoretically) buy an AM/FM springboard module for your visor. The software interface lets you tune, select band, store 10 to 20 stations and add their names (call letters) to each entry. The hardware has a stereo earphone jack, volume up/down toggle, and a "next station" button. All on the top of the module. The module is minimum springboard size, adding no size to your visor. Pressing the "next station" button when the radio and visor was OFF would turn it on and tune to the last station it was on. To turn it off you could simply hold this button down for three seconds. All these controls can be reached while your visor is in your shirt pocket. It sells for $29.95 + shipping.

Pick one:

a) I'd buy it in a second!
b) I'd like one, but too expensive.
c) Not interested. Radio is dead.
d) other (comments please)

Personally I'd: a)Buy one in a second.

Thanks for responding.

Dave

Thumbs up Hypothetical radio module

I choose a), if the receiver sensitivity and selectivity weren't compromised by my VDX's likely RF problems!

A fun feature would be to include a signal strength indicator on the display.

How hard would it be to add support for the gov't weather stations?

So are you going to build one, or are you just teasing us?

At $29.95, I'd a) buy one in a second.

Also a possibility of being able to be used in the Soundsgood energy clip would be awesome. I'd pay $40.00 if that was possible.

a), although I think that radio is dying, I still would like the idea, expecially for only 30 bucks.

a)Buy one in a second.

Then I'd buy a second one for my husband.

Keep in mind it *HAS* to include AM radio (now that Art Bell is coming back on the air). I've heard that someone's working on an FM-only radio, but that would not interest me. AM, please!!!

...actually, do you have an option for "Buy one in half a second"??

BEN, as for thinking that radio is dying, I'd say not yet. Radio is very strong in rural areas (esp. Mexican and country stations), and the country's conservatives have a true voice through radio (interesting juxtaposition of mainstream = TV, conservative = radio).

Marketing research? In a way. I want a springboard radio. I want companies with the ability to make one to know there's a market for one. But if every VisorCentral member replies to this thread, and the results are generally positive (they seem to be), I may just go ahead and produce the radios myself. I figure the first production run would be 5000. Are there 5000 of you out there that want a visor radio? I've counted 15 so far. ;-)

a)in a second . . . Add the ability to turn on at an appointed time (like Big Clock) or a reminder, and I would pay $40 for a travel alarm with radio.
