What if I run the generator in my little red wagon as I pull it
behind me to power my IBUZ receiver? I assume it becomes a mobile
device. If I shut the generator off while in Starbucks to avoid
asphyxiating my fellow overpriced coffee lovers it's still a mobile
device because I could, if I were inconsiderate, operate it in the
store. Remember, this little Honda generator is very quiet and costs
less than the radio.
If I carry my Boston Acoustics radio without the generator or car
battery/inverter, it's a portable device. Is there any mention of the
metal colander antenna hat?
I can deal with that. So the answer is there are mobile and portable
IBUZ devices.
