The cell phone is a Motorola StarTAC ST7760 digital phone, mounted to a
modified "Naviga
tor"
hands-free kit. The Navigator (bought from
pluscellular.com)
is designed to be plugged directly into a cigarette lighter, as shown. I
sawed off the cigarette lighter plug, and wired in a power jack from Radio Shack
(useless for now; note earlier issue with ground loops & Autocom). The
great thing about this mount is that the phone is securely held by a clip at the
top - it's not going ANYWHERE. I fashioned a Rube Goldberg-esque bracket
to mount it to the shelf; I won't embarrass myself by showing it in any
detail. I may be able to tap into the mic/speaker circuit of the Navigator
to improve audio volume through the Eurocom, but that's probably a winter
project. I did manage to fashion a bracket that allows me to remove the
Navigator during wet weather, since it's far from waterproof.
