Intercom Audio Input and Satellite Radio

Here is my plan. Any thoughts would be appreciated. BTW my plane is
a 73 Cessna 150L.

I am going to move my Satellite Radio to my plane.

To mount the base station, I was planning on getting a small
plexi-glass shelf and making a small cut in my center console to mount
this shelf in and then securing it on the back side with some brackets
or possible with some industrial adhesive. The radio console then
would screw to this little shelf.

The audio out of the satellite radio would then plug into the music in
of my intercom system. The problem here is that there is no volume
control on the satellite radio. To solve this problem I would install
a POTS in series of the line moving into the audio panel.

Does this sound like it would work?

Although there is no volume control, on the Delphi XM radio there is an
adjustment for audio output which does alter the volume.

I have an AM/FM walkman type radio velcroed to the windshield and fed
into the music in jack of my intercom. Although I obviously have a
volume knob on the radio I usually set the volume in the middle and
control the volume with the intercom volume knob. Can't you do the same?

John,

I took my portable Sony XM Receiver from my car (I now have a permanent
one in my car) and put it my plane. I just set the receiver under the
seat and the antenna in the Baggage area. I do not have to worry about
position since I have a tubular steel and fabric airframe.

My reviver has an output line level adjustment under the menu. That
helps me adjust it to the intercom.

I think you will have a reception problem. Depends on your location in
the world as to where the satelite actually is. We installed one in a boat
and everything was fine unless we were anchored to a southern shore, then
the trees blocked the signal. The antenna is going to have to be on top of
the plane, any interior mount is going to cause a problem when the wings are
between the antenna and the actual satelite.

John,

Sounds like it would be illegal half g. That probably isn't really a
portable solution anymore.
