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.
