To make a slight addition. I find XM coverage in my car to be very
satisfactory. It has worked in every shopping mall multistory garage I've
tried - and Sirius's limited number of repeaters makes it unlikely that they
would do as well. OTOH, it is at least theoretically likely that Sirius
would cover better in some rare rural areas shielded from the south by very
steep hills, etc.


RJ,

I can second your assessment of the XM coverage. I travel in rural VA
quite frequently and have found very few locations where reception was a
problem.

My 2001 F150 makes frequent trips to North Carolina, West Virginia and
even Kentucky. And, other than a second or two under an overpass, I've
had continuous coverage.

Just my two cents,

Jeremy Powell
