July 21 Final Update

I’m tired tonight and looking forward to a good sleep-in tomorrow morning.

My CT scan went without a hitch. I asked the tech how up-to-date the machine was and she said it does 16 scans with each revolution. The most modern ones do 64 scans per revolution. But those are being used to find blockages in the heart. Scanners on the drawing board will do 256 scans per revolution.

I found out the person who reads the scan works on-site. I wondered if they sent them out. Since they are stored digitally they could be sent anywhere in the world.

In my iPod world, a friend sent me an email and I spoke to an audio guy that does audio for cars and they both have the same solution. Apparently, I can get an adapter that plugs into the antenna connection in the back of the radio. Then it uses an FM transmitter that plugs into the connection as well as the antenna.

Since I’m plugging directly into the antenna connection, interference from any radio stations is thing of the past. On top of all that, it’s not very expensive. The radio DOES have to come out for the installation however. That pushes the installation cost up, unless I want to attempt it myself.

I’ll go through the repair manual and see how difficult that is.

I’m off to bed.
