[DeTomaso] A new Pantera trivia topic: cigarette lighter

[Charles Engles]

Dear Asa,


                   I do understand, but having me hardwiring stuff is like
asking for a short circuit!  My Cub Scout Basic Electricity Skills have
produced an accessory cigarette lighter power outlet and its tests good with
the antiquated communications gear.


                    Warmest regards,  Chuck Engles

I prefer -not- plugging in to the cigarette lighter myself.  I prefer
hardwiring stuff like CB's, scanners, GPS, and the like.  The Rick Moseley
relay kit has room for some other accessories.  :)
