Altitune: Hacking a radio for climbing and adventure activities

The Following Intractable will guide you through the steps to making a robust compact radio. The radio was made for a second year product design project at the University of Dundee.

Step 1 The Sony Radio

The Radio I hacked was the "Sony ICFS22" which is a "Personal Radio" it's a pretty cheap radio (about 10 pounds) you can buy it on Amazon or in some shops like Agros. The radio is a bit bulky and isn't really very exciting but that's what this hack aims change. I will show you how to make a smaller more portable radio.

The link bellow takes you to the Amazon product page for Sony ICFS22:

very nice, this gives me an idea of using one of those little pelican brand waterproof cases and cramming my Grundig SW radio in it, it would be waterproof and tough....
