Hi All..Another poster had spoken of going wireless by using a Bluetooth device, great idea.. If I want to do this what will I need to get to do this? This is a good idea and want to try it to see how it works but don't know anything about bluetooth. That is my problem..When I want to listen with my headset I have to keep taking the headset off to move around the house or carry my scanner with me..Any info on this? Thanks..Keithmj  Grin Grin

On the 396 group on Yahoo, they seem to use the Jabra A210 Bluetooth adapater. I think I remember that it mates to a good selection of TB headsets. The A210 is the part that plugs into the headphone jack on the radio and broadcasts audio via bluetooth. You will also need the earphone part. Once you have both parts you will need to "pair" the two items (headset and bt adapater) and that's where you can run into some issues. May be better now, but I remember having a lot of "fun" trying to pair a cell phone with a car a few years ago.
