As I understand it, the term "Jeep" was originally a U.S. military slang abbreviation for General Purpose, and subsequently became mostly associated with the ubiquitous Pick-up truck usually referred to as a "Jeep", as it was a general purpose vehicle. So Jeep in the original context could well apply to your radio. Tony
