Join the Satellite Revolution
Satellite Radio should revolutionize your FM stereo listening experience and make your selection of CD quality options almost endless. For sailors who spend a lot of time on board and/or cruise through their own limited CD collection and a lot of scratchy or "FMless" holes of reception, SR will give you continuous "in concert" sound. I spent considerable time studying and listening to the new SR receivers and think it is definitely the way to go. The $10 a month subscription fee will give me the endless CD quality listening options for half the price of a new CD which I will get tired of listening to in a fairly short time. XM which is the provider has 100 channels of every type of music and a limited number of talk radio channels. Around 30 channels are commercial free music and the rest have no more than 5-7 min of talk in an hour...try to find that on any conventional radio station. By the way, coverage is national. For these reasons I asked Santa for the new Sony plug and play satellite receiver which will work with my existing JVC FM Stereo/CD system on board my Hunter 376 which I sail on the Chesapeake Bay. I will use the Sony with additional antenna, etc. in at least one of my cars. Christmas should sound sweet. Curt Morris s/v Smooth Operator
