Subject: Noise source with a headphone jack



I use a vhf scanner tuned to a clear channel or with the programmed frequency set to zero with the squelch opened as a white noise source when the feed mill nearly two miles away gets annoying at night. One the road I have a little pocket AM/FM radio that needs an antenna to hear anything on the FM band and tune it to 87.5 or so, outside the band and use its speaker for hiding noise in motels. This particular one needs a wire or headphones plugged in to make an antenna so it wouldn't work as well with headphones, but it was only $10 at a truck stop last year near Portland OR. The tabletop scanner cost a lot more.

Any two way radio with the channel element or crystal removed would make a decent noise source, not exactly compact and headphones could be connected in place of an external speaker. And that two way could be one made obsolete by the mandated FCC update deadline coming soon. Could be a portable, or mobile, or desk top.
