I really like the one you see advertised on TV, where the guy pops
the little XM receiver (which appears to be about the size of a
cassette tape) out of his car and brings it into his home boom-box.


That's the one I have, the Sky-Fi. The Roady is a little smaller but
you don't want that one, it has several issues.


Just curious. What issues with the Roady are you referring to? We've had
one since December and have no issues, not even sitting right next to our
Garmin 295 if that is the issue you are alluding to (early on there were
reports of problems with the Roady when next to a GPS unit, but it was found
to be an installation issue, not a problem with the Roady). The Roady is
sturdy, reliable, and sounds great with decent speakers (IOW -- sounds
better in the Miata with the Bose Audio than in the Bronco with speakers
that need replacing).

For the price, the Roady can't be beat. The whole SkyFi system is neat and
just may be the best for Jay's application, but the Roady is a neat little
unit and shouldn't be dismissed by anyone without more explicit information.


TIA,

Gail
