One of the most useful radios I ever owned was a Pearce Simpson in-dash AM/FM CB. Read that again, I didn't say it was the best; I said it was the most useful with regard to functionality.
If you are one of the thousands that slip seat on a daily basis, you will know what I'm talking about. This radio has potential. If one couples it with either a XM tuner or HD converter, they would have a complete radio package less the current weight and bulk they now lug from vehicle to vehicle. If this concept does take off and receives acceptance, someone would be smart to design a low profile light radio caddy able to accommodate a pair of small speakers.
I don't feel a need for a tall stack of radio equipment in the den, to me that is ludicrous as most of my talking is done down the road 5 days a week. Yet I can accept that there are those who couldn't live without a desk full of knobs, dials, and buttons. The market is there for both.... If the design utilizes the technology correctly and produces a quality product.
Just another opinion from an apparent 'SuperTrucker' according to some.
