Heavy-Duty Weather Radio
ASA’s new Jensen JHD1000 Heavy Duty AM/FM Weatherband Stereo is designed with a full 7-channel NOAA Weatherband tuner in addition to AM/FM radio capability. This enables users to stay current on the latest weather conditions. The JHD1000 is also equipped with “World-Tuning,” which allows for worldwide tuning operation.

This durable stereo also features a built-in alarm clock; a four-channel, 120-watt power amplifier; selectable green or amber backlighting; and single button up/down tuning. If the vehicle battery is disconnected, the JHD1000, through Super Cap technology, can maintain presets and the clock for up to 15 days.

The entire front panel is designed with an impervious membrane to prevent dirt from entering the unit through the pushbutton gaps. The front panel also offers an “aux-in” jack that permits the user to listen to personal music from an iPod, MP3 player, portable CD player or any new technology using the radio’s amplifier and speaker system. The unit also features a wide-angle anti-glare LCD panel that can be viewed from below or above, which makes it ideal for mounting either overhead or on the dashboard.

Premium Shell Grease
Shell Lubricants’ new Shell Retinax LX is a family of premium, lithium complex greases made from a combination of performance additives developed primarily for the lubrication of high-temperature applications, such as wheel bearings in heavy-duty truck applications. Shell Retinax LX is replacing Shell Retinax LC to better align with the global grease brands offered by Shell, the company says.

Shell Retinax LX provides excellent EP/load carrying ability, oxidation stability, rust protection and the ability to adhere to metal surfaces and resist water wash-off, the company says. Shell Retinax LX has a distinct red color that makes it easy to identify in field applications. It is particularly effective in wheel bearings subjected to high temperatures and load caused by braking from high speed.
