Portable WB opinion.

I am torn between the LM1 and PLX-M300 for a portable wideband setup. I have an LC1 permanently installed in my car, and am looking for a wideband that is simple to swap between cars.

I use an PLX and its very good. Self calibrating is a very nice touch. I just made up a cigar lighter loom to power it for easy transfer between cars.

I did something similar...

I bought a cig lighter socket from Radio Shack & added enough wire to reach under the hood.

I bought the cig lighter adapter and wired it to my LC1, that way I can ground it wherever I want, and get power straight from the battery if I want, or I can just plug it into the cig lighter already on the car...which right now is occupied by my inverter for the laptop charger...

I also made a 1/4" aluminum bracket to hold the LC1 whereever I want with one screw or two clamps..depending where or not there is already a spot for the screw.

Makes for easy swaps from car to car
