Default Shortwave vs satellite radio?

But as an alternative to terrestrial, especially the AM's and AM
noise here (and much of that content is on XM anyway), I like it.


Can you easily take your XM unit inside the house and
use it and then take it in the car and use it?


I have an XM Roady XT which has a built in FM modulator. I can unplug the
unit and bring it into the house, but since I often leave it on one channel
for long periods of time, I often leave it in the car and the range of the
FM modulator is enough that I just listen to it over the house's radios.

I really like XM, and if you are good/lucky, you can get a year's
subscription for $77.
