Thanks for the comments! I'm just going to subsist on some cheap speakers for the MP3 player for the time being. Well, the radio came new with the van & so I'm not inclined to get a new one. My wife certainly won't be inclined to spend the $$$!

Maggie, I was a bit familiar with the capture effect from scanning the public safety bands. However, I expected it to work in my favor! I know the signal strength of these gizmos can't be very strong or the FCC would have a canary. But even so, I thought the fact that the transmitter would only be a couple feet from the radio's antenna would cause its signal to block out any marginal radio station signal that it was competing with.
