You can get a complete XM setup for 12 Volts for $113.. It has a
cassette adapter and a line-out jack that plugs into any AUX input.

XM has really good music and really mediocre News and Talk.

Sirius has terrible music but really good News and Talk, including
World Radio Network (the future of International Broadcasting).

I still like to DX on my shortwaves, but for content the satellite
radio is richer.

Interesting! My son recently purchased stock in the satellite radio cause
there seems to be a sense
that the FCC won't be monitoring and enforcing their rules there. Could it
be that all the noise about
FCC enforcement would cause XM to become the next FM? Is FM going the way of
AM?

My question, who has satellite radio? What are the costs involved? Is it
worth it?

I was wondering because of all of the trouble picking up signals with the

satellites solved this problem? While still being a wireless radio

About a year ago I thought about XM radio. And I thought to myself if it
would ever carry shortwave stations?
And their is the Internet way to access radio? But it is not as fun
listening to radio through the Internet. You have to start up your PC,

the
log on, then search for what you want to hear and it might not be live.

I guess for a city person as myself, I dream to someday live up on a
mountain and have the whole horizon to listen to.
