not sure if it qualifies as an ultralight or not, but the notion of a headphone radio makes every walk a potential DXpedition ef Peltor Digital WorkTunes Radio Earmuff Protective AM/FM headphones [image: peltor-radio-muff-sm.jpg] iPods are great except for those of us who are required to have hearing protection at work. I'm a Highway Safety Consultant and still do construction. This is the only radio earmuff I have found that has hearing protection and digital tuning. Unlike standard noise-reducing headphones, these provide actual hearing protection from loud noises (the noise reduction rating is advertised as 26 dB). I have owned other radio earmuff models but when you "bump" the channel selector you lose your station. Since this one's digital, I can program the presets. Now I tune in, save my favorite channels, and flip between them. So far I've been using mine at work with a patch cord for the iPod, however, I am going to buy an FM modulator for the iPod so I can go wireless. -- Scott Newton Peltor Digital WorkTunes Radio Earmuff (WorkTunes 26) $63 http://www.envirosafetyproducts.com/product/digital-radio-earmuff.html _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
