The question was, the "easiest" place to pick off the audio...When was the 
last time you opened a scanner and found places big enough for your soldering 
iron to work?  On the above mentioned board, there's a pot to control volume 
to an external speaker, so I see no reason why one would lose the audio or 
speaker as you say.  How much noise or distortion do you normally find in an 
FM transmission that will affect your capability to understand it?
Biggest question I have: Why would you want to take a chance of destroying a 
$300+ radio, when you can do that with a project board?
... If you call me insane again, I'll eat your OTHER eye!
