All of the low power FM transmitters for vehicle use I've seen are in

One problem with this class of device is the bridge tied outputs. The
speaker(s) are no longer ground referenced - both sides must float.
This increases RFI issues (not the RF chokes in the outp
The surplus Motorola speaker are truly excellent speakers for radio use,
both mobile and in the shack.
They have high efficiency and a frequency response that is ideal for
Radio use.

I'm planning on replacing my IC-730 that has been my mobile rig for 20+ years
