Your first concern has to be that Stern's not due to be on Sirius for another
10-plus months, yet.

By then, though, Sirius may have a small, portable unit, although the antenna
will remain an issue, since it needs to be out in the open, near a window or
such, facing the area of sky over the north-central U-S (like Minnesota, North
Dakota, or Manitoba). Inside a building with glass won't work all that well,
unless you happen to be in a city where there's repeaters (which may be a good
bet, if you live in a large city, or if Sirius has traffic reports for it).

I have a Kenwood in-dash model (the head-end, though, is in the trunk) and I
like it. I'm not all that familiar with the "portable" units, though. Pop over
to a Best Buy or Radio Shack, though, and take a listen. The best review is the
one you do.
