It looks like a noob project to me, nothing revolutionary in there. But maybe it can spread the hobby, if a few readers try it out...

I think the best stealth solution is to build them into a set of headphones. Leave them around your neck, or on your head.

If connected to a an R09HR you would pass it off as a MP3 player that way. Anyway for taping in public spaces where you don't want to stand out then headphones are great.

Soundprofessionals sold (or used to sell) a version of these.  AT853 elements inside.  I thought it was crazy to wear headphones (on my ears), so I wore them around my neck as you suggest.
