But if it works with the wi ... |

The support person said that th ... |

What is the charging voltage supplied by the cradle?

Thanks for the information. I did have the speaker working, but there was no lightning bolt on the battery indicator when in the cradle.
It also did not turn on or off when plugging or unplugging t ... |

The Quest does seem to have what I'm looking for. Any recommendation for a mount to 7/8 bars?
Any other accesories that would be important?
Thanks |
