Thanks for the info.
If I have to get an adapter, I'm gonna try to see if I can find one that 
will change it to USB.
I plan to get a new computer soon, so I'll probably  need it anyway.
I haven't scratched the surface on learning the radio yet, but I love it 
already.
Still studying the manual.
Thanks again, and 7 3.
