That sounds like the one I bought. It goes with me everywhere. And I
rarely have a signal outage....except for under bridges in rural areas.


Everywhere I go, I can listen to what I enjoy via satellite.


Glendale, CA, in hilly area... no signal at all.. La Quinta, CA to Palm
Desert (my bicycle route) spotty signal, dropouts at least twice in any 5
minute time in motion. Prescott, AZ, no signal at all in area I live.
Waste of $300-.


Really. I"m not familiar with Ca reception, but I have a colleague in
Prescott who listens to the same XM channels I do, on the same radio, a
first generation MyFi.


Don't bother him with facts. Only 50,000 watt stations can be heard within a
10mV/m contour. The rest may as well shut down and let the big boys splatter
the band with their noisy IBOC subcarriers. Corporate media will only be
happy when they have complete and total control over everything we see, hear
and think. They already tell us what kind of music and entertainment we
like, and what we will use to access it.- Hide quoted text -

I read on hte Web that the FCC hates broadcast radio and that they may
have let IBOC loose so that it would destroy the broadcast bands, so
that they could auction off the bands off at a later date.
