Could this converter be used with an AM Car Radio, specifically in this case a BL/Motorola Push-Button set made in the 1980s? I appreciate that, for in-car use, the converter may need to be built into a screened box, and the aerial input circuitry may need adaptting/modifying to suit a car aerial, which typically wil be either 50 or 150 ohms impedance and use a coaxial cable. Ideally, too, the output of the converter woul be couple directly to the AM radio via a short length of car aerial coax. cable terminated in a suitable plug, in this case the 'traditional 150 ohm type, rather thab the later ISO connector.
