Wish I had bought the radio that plugs into the car and a boombox. There have been many times I've been somewhere away from home and the car and wish
I had my radio with me...

At least for XM
I think the best deal is now the XM2go receiver. It is about the size of a cell phone and comes with separate cradles/antennaes/power supplies for
in-home, on the road or for use as a "walkman" type device. Yes, it even has a small antennae that you can clip to clothing. Includes a remote control
as well and a fairly large LCD screen for display.
You can either go straight analog out or have it broadcast its signal via an FM frequency. I use the FM broadcast capability to listen to XM on
radios as much as 50-75 feet away from my vehicle. Very convenient for listening in the back of my cabover camper (on the dedicated FM radio in there)
or sitting around camp. I dont have to have the windows rolled down and the radio blasting to hear it; I just tune in on my portable FM radio or an
older Sony Walkman if I'm listening to sports that the wife doesn't want to hear.
Not a pure digital link between the two but, hey, last time I checked, my ears are still analog. The fidelity is plenty good and saves you from much
running of wires and install hassles.

Bummer that XM got rid of my favorite stations Ngoma (modern- africa/world music which sounds wierd, but is really good) World music , and Luna (latin
stuff). Ngoma is online only now. Need something new for sunset listening time.
They substituted a bunch of Canadian and french cra... stuff.

Agreed. What are they doing? Luna and World Zone were great.

What's the difference between the Roady2 and the roady xt/
We got the roady 2 for xmas. The stores I was at were out of the xt at the time. I wonder if I should go back and trade it in for the xt. What are the
advantages one over the other? thanks for any help,k

I'm using the Sirius Sportster with the vehicle cradle/antenna and the boombox. It also has the FM function.

XM with a Roady2, a boombox and a Sony receiver(2+ years old). With 3 sets guess you can figure I like it. Often stream it over my computer when I'm
online
