Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassH04B 001/38AbstractThe present invention relates to a configurable hand held radio monitor for use in monitoring sporting events. In particular, the radio monitor is specifically adapted for automobile racing sporting events and includes an onboard microprocessor for controlling a radio receiver. A removable memory card is provided which includes a series of predetermined radio frequencies which are used by the microprocessor when the memory card is inserted into the radio monitor housing. A removable and replaceable keypad overlay is additionally provided to correspond to the information recorded on the memory card. With the keypad overlay and the memory module, the radio monitor is adapted to operate at a specific racing event or a specific racing division.Field of SearchInterface attached device (e.g., interface with modem, facsimile, computer, etc.)Card control element With retractable or readily detachable chassis Sectional or interconnectable (e.g., modules) Transportable Having display Plural-switch number input device (e.g., keypad) Detail of mounting of switch pad or dial | |
