What's funny is, someone will buy the pants in order to get the radio
only to discover, when they get it home, that it's nothing but a high
tech paperweight without subscription to XM radio!!

In the first place, it's about the size of a Philips Cassette box.
Second, it comes activated for 3 months.

All that means that the unpleasant discovery will have to wait for
three months....which will make it even more unpleasant. It sure is
nice of JCPenney to make us all such a good "deal".

This is actually a pretty good deal! I just wish Sirius would develop some
decent receivers. Theirs are so damned big and ugly.

those stupid XM radios.It's a gyp deal all the way around.There is a
J.C.Pennys store at Northpark mall wayyyyy up North just across County
Line Road of Jackson in Ridgeland.I wear Dickies www.dickies.com
pants.The blue ones,they wear like iron and don't show my pee stains so

You know, if you bought them at Goodwill they probably had a head start in
the wearing thin department. Are you -really- that stupid?

TANSTAAFL? I had to look that one up! "There ain't no such thing as a

Anyway, if you can't find an AM or shortwave radio that works without a
subscription to XM, there's something very, very wrong. I have lots of
radios, and while they do require batteries or AC power, not one--and I
mean not a single one--requires a subscription to XM.

Sirius has much of the same programming that is disappering from your
shortwave radio. In rich, noise-free hifi sound. 24 hours a day.

Here's the thing, though....I have a lot of radios, too, and it's very rare that
ANY of them are worth turning on, considering when I listen, a problem which is
even more pronounced when I travel. So, to have the choices I want, and in a
way no different than the magazines, newspapers, satellite TV and other services
I pay for, satellite radio is the means I use to (legally!) acquire the
programming I will listen to. And, as TANSTAAFL suggests, your "free" radio
isn't really "free", either.

This event actually has a lot of significance.

They are starting to give the radios away. I was expecting that to happen.

I think you will see a variety of deals now that include free satellite radios.
Soon nobody will be paying for them.

And there will be all sorts of discount subscription deals too.

It is a gradual move to mass distribution.

You didn't look very carefully.

This is Sirius channel 115:

On the contrary, I looked very closely. The vast majority of the
programs listed there are programs that you can receive on smallest,
cheapest shortwave receiver out there, using only the whip.

Is this what's supposed to get me excited about Sirius? You must be
kidding.

And I can already hear BBC World Service News 24 hours a day, with my
choice of multiple frequencies at any given time.

One thing I haven't looked at yet is the Sirius channel that features
military comms, amateur radio operators and so on. Can you provide a

My HF radios work great. Unfortunately, aside from a few hours a

day,
the programming is predominantly end-timers and prophesisers.

Have you considered the possibility that you are xenophobic?


I don't think I'm xenophobic. I enjoy learning about foreign peoples
and cultures. In fact, that's one of the reasons why I enjoy shortwave.

If you're only able to get end-timers or prophesisers for all but a few

A radio music station here in Jackson plays some Knee Deep in Bluegrass
music every day and there are no commercials and there is another radio
station here that plays Country Music with no commercials www.us963.com
(us963 where God isn't dead) us963 does make some pertinent
announcements from time to time about things related to us963 and
upcoming events,but they are not the usual crappy commercials on some
other radio stations.There are many local Jackson area radio
stations,Christian,Music,Sports,Talk Shows on the radio (free to listen
to Radio Stations) around here.(do a search for them if you want to) I
don't really know how many of them have no commercials because I haven't
ever checked them all out before.I have my favorite AM and FM Radio
Stations I like to listen to.Why should I pay to listen to Radio
Stations when the AM and FM Radio Stations I like the best are free.The
Radio Stations around here are not slanted and biased either.
