Pocket?  How long will a 9 volt battery last powering an IBOC
chipset?  Look at the size of the power transformer in that 
"mostly empty" chassis.  And remember they are working on
getting the power drain down to "only" 100 milliwatts.

Usually I look at you, my good man, as speaking Great Truths,

Poop.  I'm missing Shark.
