I originally brought a Gomadic cable for another mp3 player that I had and kept the cable after that player died on me. It is great only having to by a new tip and saving the money on buying a full cable.

And of course like with the first tip this one works flawlessly! I actually got a much faster transfer rate than with the cable that Cowon shipped with the player. Definitely a good value.

Item was a direct replacement and shuts off charger when charging is complete. Reason for 4 vice 5 stars is that price. Item has been around since probably the mid 90's and the technology should have been long paid for.

This is a nice one touch open and close phone holder for your car that can fit phones that are 2 to 3 inches in width. It has a highly adjustable base and phone holding mechanism that allows you to set the angle and tilt to suit your height and what style of vehicle you are driving. You can rotate the phone into the landscape or into the portrait mode to fit the application you are using the phone for like taking calls or as a GPS.

The stand has a very sticky gel mount suction cup that easily sticks to your windshield or to any smooth surface in your car. There is a lever that pulls on the cup and it creates a powerful suction force that holds the stand in place. If the gel pad loses its sticky surface over time you can rejuvenate it by simply washing it with slightly warm water and letting it air dry. Do not use any soap to clean the gel cup. It is always nice to clean the area where you are going to mount the suction cup to make sure that it is securely held into place. No other adhesives are required. If your dash is porous then of course suction cups will not work on porous surfaces. Two buttons on the side of the mount quickly release the phone or prepare the stand to receive the phone by expanding the holding arms and locking them open. You set the phone into the stand and lean it back and the mount quickly closes to securely hold your phone. (Please look at my video) There is a button in the center of the back of the stand that when pressed closes the arms to hold your phone into place. My video shows all of the adjustments of the stand including the lowering of the lower feet that your phone rests on to allow you to mount longer phones.

The stand opened up enough that my iPhone 4 in an Otterbox Defender case fit into the stand and was held into place. This is nice as we do not like removing our phones from their cases. Please be aware that some states have restrictions on where you can mount windshield mounted devices and some states do not allow you to use them at all. Please make sure that you check your local laws regarding the use of windshield mounted electronics.

I like this stand and I rated it as a 5 star item.

I was supplied a sample for test and evaluation and I promised to provide a fair and honest review.

GreatShield Quick grip has a strong suction that works both on the windshield and as well as the dashboard. I prefer suction mounts to the adhesive mounts because I don't want to stick anything permanently to my dash. My dash is slightly textured, so not every suction dash mount works on it. This one sticks well. The second thing I like is that it is very easy to mount and dismount the phone. I am fairly short so it takes extra contortions for me to reach a windshield mount, and if it does not open easily it takes me extra time to mount the phone. This holder solves this problem in two ways for me, I can mount it on the dash and it is quite easy to mount and dismount the phone.

The vacuum for the mount is created by pressing down the lever. The gel pad is washable, so I clean it once a week to keep the stickiness at its maximum. The mount can be position in many ways, and I am attaching a video which shows how it works.

The width of the holder adjusts from 2.125" " to 3". The depth of the holder is 0.75". The depth of the holder works with a regular slim phone (with or without a gel skin). It will not hold a battery with an extended battery as it does not extend far enough to hold a fatter phone securely.

I received this phone mount from the manufacture for evaluation, testing and review. In the recent few years I had a chance to test a number of different car mounts, and this one has become one of my favorites for the phone that does not have an extended battery. Note that my husband's phone with an extended battery did not fit well, so the dash mount is not totally "universal".

Best Deals for GreatShield Quick Grip One Touch Windshield Dashboard Universal Car

This product is very well built, for the price you cannot go wrong. I used this with my Samsung S4 and is works perfect. Suction cup has a button you push down to create an excellent suction on windows and also on car dashboard. This is the best car mount I have purchased yet, great quality, many options for placement and movement. It also has side buttons that open the holder to fit larger phones and it snaps to the phone once mounted. I would recommend this to anyone.

For years I've charged my deep cycle marine batteries (used to power ham radio transceivers for Field Day) with a $50 Sears charger so when my friend VK3VTH suggested I look at the CTEK smart charger I really liked the engineering and design. I decided on the big mother 25000 charger and it is a BIG step up for me. Really cool, you can be totally brainless and let the CTEK charger brain do the work. Just clip on the heavy duty insulated alligator clips to your battery terminals (the charger will warn you if you've reversed positive and negative, plug in the charger and let it go through the 8 steps to a charged battery. I called the CTEK people to ask a question and got my technical questions answered easily. The money you spend on a CTEK charger is money well spent.

I'm quite conservative with my star ratings, although this charger impressed me right from the start. I have a 15 year old deep cycle marine battery that I use for an electric trolling motor for my canoe. I hadn't used that battery for over 10 years and the acid had evaporated (totally dry). I filled it with distilled water and hooked up the charger. I pressed the recondition button and walked away. After two and a half days of charging, the indicator light read full. This battery now has jumped a car, lawn mower (twice) and is retaining its charge. That one charge has saved a $90.00 battery.

The primary reason for choosing this charger was not having to worry about over charging; totally automatic with thermostat.

I would Highly recommend this to anyone.

Kawasaki 840662 14.4 Volt Replacement Battery, Black
Customer Ratings: 3 stars

I ordered this battery pack as a replacement to a 5 piece combination tool kit which I have had for years. I Recently shattered one of the original battery packs and my research showed that the dimensions of this Kawasaki were the same as my set. Upon arrival all the dimensions were identical accept there was no quick charge recepticle tab on the top front of the upright stem. I set it into my original charger and after 48 hours the battery would run a flashlight, but not a drill or skil saw. I then disassembled the stem and soldered a quick charge tab at the top front of the stem and then it only took 2 hours to recover the amperage needed to drive my heavier usage power tools. So it is now working satisfactorily and I will reorder in the future the same product as needed because I cannot find a source for my originals!

Motorola Spirit GT Professional 4-Mile 1-Channel FRS Two-Way Radio
Customer Ratings: 4 stars

This is a decieving radio. You need a business FCC license for it so you must apply for it and state your business need for these radio's. Its better to stick with GMRS or FRS unless you want to violate FCC R&R and use them for non-business use. There are FCC listeners everywhere that monitor the use of these frequencies and I have returned these radios and switched to GMRS. The claim that you have a 4 to 5 mile range is in perfect conditions, using these radios for the short time I had them gave me only minimal range increase from my FRS radios I've previously used. Range is dependent on the antennae and battery strength.

GT Plus does everything the T280 does, but it is much harder to switch frequencies & channels. The T280 is a much better product at a lower price.

Best Deals for Motorola Spirit GT Professional 4-Mile 1-Channel FRS Two-Way Radio

On the jobsite or in the workplace, professional two-way radios

provide instant communication with individuals or multiple groups.

Business communications made simple! The Spirit GT+ radio

is ideally suited for retail stores, restaurants, schools,

hospitals, event coordination, small businesses and more.

Special "wait-to-talk" feature requires that you wait for

all the other conversations from the other companies that

share your frequency to stop transmitting so you can talk.

Spirit® Professional two-way radios operate on business

radio frequencies, (not FRS) which adds to congestion on

the already overcrowded business radio service.

Not recommended for personal use.

Two channel operation allows twice as many users to

share the same frequencies with you and requires frequency

coordination with other companies in your area.

"Up to 4 mile range" means that you will recieve interference

and unwanted chatter from everybody else within a 4 mile radius.

Regardless of which 2 of the 8 frequencies you choose,

there will always be somebody telling you to "get off my channel!".

When you ask that person for their license information,

they will explain that "I don't need a license!".

When you explain the rules to them, they will argue

"your rules Do NOT apply to me!", then they will

start jammming you.

Here is a list of low power itinerant business radio frequencies:

1 464.5000 Brown

2 464.5500 Yellow

Honest reviews on Motorola Spirit GT Professional 4-Mile 1-Channel FRS Two-Way Radio

I bought these radios online a few years ago. Have used it since for weddings, road trips, ski trips, camping, vacation, cruises and in hotel rooms. The radio is great with ranges from 1-4 miles depending on the terrain you are in. Just used them up at Lake Tahoe and the range is great! We had friends in the registration lodge as we were on the other side of the mountain and could hear them fine!

Con: I can't tell what other Motorola models are compatible with the "Motorola Spirit GT Professional 2-Way Radio". Wish there was a list somewhere.

I purchased this item at Wal-mart while on a business trip. I left my charger for my GPS at home and the GPS uses a mini-usb charging port. It worked perfectly for the GPS which draws a very small amount of power. I then used it with my laptop which uses a 70 watt adapter, well below the rated 140 watts. The unit fried in less than an hour. It burned out two fuses in my car. I foolishly tried it in a second cigarette outlet after it blew the fuse in the first one.

The unit smelled of burned electrical circuitry. I thought that perhaps I just got a defective unit until I read a review on Amazon about another Powerline brand inverter where the customer had the same experience with two units.

The unit is very compact and light. It easily fits into my computer bag and is 1/3 or less the weight of the typical converter. In that respect the unit is perfect but don't expect it to last long running a laptop. If they make it more durable for a laptop or any device pulling over 50 watts, this would be a great item.

I bought it from Walmart. I was playing music in my car for about 2 hours with the engine off. I then decided to plug the inverter into the cigarette lighter to charge my iPhone. When I connected the iPhone via the USB port, I could smell the unit burning and it blew the 20 amp fuse for the cigarette lighter/radio.

A few days later I opened the unit and I could see some type of white frothing that looked like whip cream but it was hard. I could not tell if this occured when the unit was frying since the smell was gone. The unit has a 25 amp fuse which was still intact which explains why the current by passed it and blew my car's 20 amp cigarette lighter fuse.

I think the amps on this should be less than that of cigarette lighters so that the unit should burn out first. I am no electrician but I believe this could start a fire starting at the unit.

You can't use it unless it's in a noisy area. It would drive anyone nuts! Try to find a quieter one maybe. My old one, was built better, more stylish, compact, was silent and worked great.

Honest reviews on VicTsing Composite AV Video TV RCA Cable with USB Charger For iPad

This cable does not work as expected with my 2nd generation iPod Touch, but it does meet my needs. The vendor's response was exceptional, and I am now very satisfied.

VicTsing followed up on the order even before I had a chance to test the cable. As I discovered the operational anomalies, they were very quick to respond and we rapidly agreed on a resolution.

My desire was to trick a hotel TV into playing my music through its speakers (kind of a poor-man's speaker dock). Several posts indicated that some sort of video output is needed by the TV. With this AV cable, both music and a slide-show work from my 2nd gen Touch for a few minutes, then the Touch displays a message like "this accessory is not supported by iPod Touch" and the TV displays the "no signal" message instead of my photo slide-show. But the music still plays, so my need was met. On a second TV, the photos never displayed, but the music played. (The Touch will display the error message after a short time even if the other ends of the cable are not connected to anything.) I later had a chance to briefly test with a friend's iPhone and the first TV, and that combination worked as expected. So I suspect the problem is with the iPod Touch — maybe just mine, maybe any 2nd gen. But since my needs are satisfied, I haven't taken the time to do further diagnostic work.

This item is a gem! But I have found one small problem, and that's when you have your phone plugged into the auxiliary jack, and have it charging at the same time. Sometimes (not all the time, I've found) there will be a sort of static sound when both are in at the same time. When it's just the aux, it's nice and clear. (Just for the record, in case it somehow matters, I drive an '03 Corolla)

DO follow the instructions when it says to turn the phone media volume all the way up for best sound quality. It's true! It helps with the slight static noise when you've got both plugged in simultaneously.

Otherwise, this product is nice and small, much better than the iPod Touch FM transmitter I used to have before I got my new DROID 3. Works like a charm and now I can listen to my music on the go!

This battery is shipped without acid; so it must be filled and charged by the purchaser before use. This bit of detail, as critical as it is, should be included in the product description and it is not. I had to purchase the acid from a local source, fill the battery (no, do not try this if you do not know how to do it) and charged it with a 12-volt charger in series with a spare 6-volt battery I had. Who has a 6-volt battery charger at their disposal anyway? If you can go through this kind of trouble then this is a good value.
