[Electronics-talk] Satellite Radios

[Rob Tabor]

Hi, Steve and list.
Although I am not at all famailiar with the latest and greatest models of 
satellite radio receivers I own a Delphi SkyFi model which downloads streams 
from XM and an AudioVox model which downloads streams from Sirius. I have 
found the Audio Vox to be a superior model except for the singular 
inconvenience of having to run its antenna cable through my kitchen wall to 
the rafters of my back deck. This, of course, eliminates any hope of 
portability, but is not universally true for everyone. It is just that 
Sirius receivers require a northern or western exposure due to the rotation 
of its three satellites in a figure eight pattern over the north and Central 
Americas.

I have been much less impressed with the SkyFi in spite of its portability 
attributable to not having to run the antenna into the outdoors. However, 
the remote is less than fully reliable in its operation and its audio output 
is lame in comparison to the full bodied sound of the Audiovox.
Hope this helps
Rob "Rock Chalk" Tabor
