I use this a lot. It's great to have always-on NOAA radio reports in a
battery-operated radio when you live in the country.


Ideally, I would prefer a standard earphone/headset plug and standard
antenna plug, but it's a minor issue.

The headset doesn't matter to me, since the Vertex is my only radio
and it is always hooked up. The antenna plug is another matter, since
the adapter is so small, hence easy to lose! I keep it in a ziplock
bag so as not to mislay it. (Not such an issue now as it used to be,
since the plane I rent doesn't have an external antenna, alas.)
