Howard:
I think I found an external speaker jack on the main radio unit behind a
little door on the front.
Haven't tried it yet, but is sure feels like a speaker jack to me. There
are also some jacks that appear to be mini-din-type jacks in that little
panel as well.
As for the auto-tuner issue, I'll just leave the tuner on, then.
And, I still have your phone number in case I need to call with more
questions.
Don't worry: I'm not ignoring you; it's just been a busy day here.
