Any BT receiver with hardware on/off switch will do. For example the APOS-626 we reviewed recently. you can even run them with the battery removed - fix times will be slightly longer but still very manageable. _________________ Lutz

I don't think so - you will still have to press the button to switch it on. _________________ Lutz

i guess you're right. from my use with the 700, i guess that's never been a problem. I guess it would be cool though if you didnt have to power it on |
