Customer more profits in 55 out of 56 people found this review helpful. Hit and Miss By William C. Houghland short - Nice radio and programming with horrible FM modulation. Do not buy this unless you want to bind directly to the antenna in the car or radio. I bought this unit in October last year to play college football games during long car trips. This is my first introduction to satellite radio. I have mixed feelings about the product. First and foremost, the unit was relatively easy to operate. I connected the power and satellite, lit it and select a free FM station in the Configuration menu of the device. And the 'pre-tuned to a test station (National Weather). I had a clear signal from the satellite so that only the antenna rests on the dashboard. I activated online for a couple of times (he had power in the first attempt). But FM broadcast from the device to my car stereo was terrible, no-limit to be used. Even after choosing a completely clear FM station, turn off the car, waving the unit around until I found a sweet-spot, and fingers crossed, there was always noticeable and very disruptive static interference Based on what I read, apparently the FM transmission strength in unity for the lower than previous models. Said the model SP-TK2 has a much stronger signal. I was not able to determine whether or not that had anything to do with FCC regulations. For my vehicle, I have overcome the shortcomings FM transmitter by connecting the camera directly at the entrance to Alpine Ai-net/Changer on my radio and using the AUX function. This step eliminated all outside interference and static bypassed FM modulation completely. However, part of my attraction to this unit was the Plug and Play. My friends and I took the road to several trips this year and I brought with me the Sirius unit. The cars we used did not have A/V inputs, so we had to make due with the lousy FM transmitter We were able to fight through the static for the sports and talk radio stations, but music was un-listenable. The unit itself is ok. It's easy to use and the screen has a lot of info. It keeps track of all the scores in sporting events, show and host for talk stations, and song/artist for music stations. It's awkward to mount though, because all of the wires plug into the back of the dock, not the bottom. You need clearance between the back of the unit and the mounting surface for these wires. My two options were to use an air conditioning vent clip or the windshield suction cup. I chose the vent because I didn't want the unit in the sunlight. At night, the unit is very bright. You can turn down the brightness of the screen, but the buttons are backlit with a piercing blue light that can't be adjusted. The rotary knob is especially bright. It looks like I have a big blue glow stick in my car at night The programming is pretty good. Sirius carries every NFL game, and nearly all the college football games, which is exactly what I was looking for. They also play a lot of the NBA and NHL games, but I've not paid much attention to them. They have three comedy stations, and several talk/news (including the BBC) radio and sports radio stations. On the other hand, all of their music stations do not meet my sound quality expectations. I have a decent aftermarket stereo, and the music stations sound worse than local FM. They're not terrible, but the difference between listening to a song on Sirius and on a CD is jarring. That said, they have a fair amount of genres represented. You'll hear songs on Sirius that you'll never hear on your local radio. I've had limited customer service interaction, but it's been all bad. I chose the three month program to start off with. Sirius doesn't give you a very detailed invoice on the billing screen It simply shows Subscription charge, Activation Fee, and Taxes. The Subscription charge on the invoice did not match what plan stated it should be, it was about.
