Got this little bluetooth adapter which lets you plug into any headphone jack and stream audio to a capable receiver.

Already had this bluetooth speaker but any bluetooth speaker can be used

To my surprise it sounds great, and no interference. Range is great, I walked into my basement with the speaker and it was still kicking out. There is a slight hiss, but blows the HP1 audio away. Hookup was simple, just pressed buttons on each device and they paired up.

With something like this
Amazon.com: Dewalt DCR002 Wireless Bluetooth Adapter: Electronics

Which I also have but haven't tried yet with the scanner, you could wirelessly feed in scanner audio to any receiver.
I'll be looking forward to next airshow season see how this works with a handheld in the field.

Are you getting the published battery life of 7hrs for the BT transmitter? Thanks.

Dunno, literally just opened the box hours ago, slapped a quick charge and fired it up.
I hope so, pretty good reviews for this gizmo. I just tried it with my bluetooth headphones and works great as well.
tomorrow am going to test the range, would be great if it reached out to my garage but I think that will be pushing it.

Tried it in my garage, no dice. Was booming half way there which is over 50 ft, all in all impressive range.
