    Best way to combine Music & Radar

    Or -- skip the Radar audio, and get the Marc Parnes Visual Alert LED. I have it, works great, I prefer the visual over the audio.

    TBS Tuners Please Tune in....

    WW Even if you stick with the one tube U design -- I'd still recommend calculating the volume (or empirially determining) of the fluid. Then design some PVC traps to collect the fluid in the event that one of the tubes comes off the vacuum port (without traps -- this will allow the fluid to...
