[8] Where online can I get more information on mobile SW radios?

  Google's archives of rec.radio.shortwave can get you started:
    http://groups.google.com/groups?q=rec.radio.shortwave

  So can these websites for radios with shortwave coverage:

Car Radios: (to mount on-, under- or in-dash)
   <www.eham.net/reviews/detail/6883>
   <www.universal-radio.com/catalog/hamhf/0817.html>
   <www.universal-radio.com/catalog/hamhf/0703.html>
    www.anarc.org/naswa/issues/0597/equip0597.html
    www.motobras.com.br/Automotivos_esp.htm
    www.angelfire.com/ia/lfb/

Palm-sized, Belt-clippable Radios: (esp. recommended for bikers)
   <www.universal-radio.com/catalog/widerxvr/0500.html>
    www.universal-radio.com/catalog/widerxvr/1005.html

Boom-boxes: (mobile noise pollution generators)
   <www.radiomuseum.org/r/grundig_satellit_2400.html>         (4 x 2 W)
    www.yousifi.com.kw/cd-radio-cassette.php                 (RX-CT650)
    www.motobras.com.br/Gravador_esp.htm                      (2x1.2 W)

  The websites in brackets are for radios that can tune in emergency
  transmissions in SSB-mode. However, they cost at least twice as much
  as the others listed (esp. for the car radio category where you must
  buy a transceiver in order to get SSB-demodulation capability) and
  tend to hold their values well on the used market.
