This was much smaller than I had expected it to be but it's perfect for traveling or going to the beach. Sound is good, but make sure you are outside with clear skies for the antenna. It wouldn't even catch a signal next to the window. Overall, good considering it's the only one I coudl find that is compatable to the Starmate 1.
Operates good, sounds good to a non-audiophilelike me. Remote works good. But you have to have a place for reception.
The product is okay when you are outside, but if you are inside, forget it. Be prepared for it not to get a signal and go in and out on you. I'd rather use the regular stereo than fuss with this when Im inside.
I have had my boom box for almost a year. It is portable so it can go from the home to the boat and back again. It has good sound is is plug and play, all you have to do is find a spot outside for the antenna. Makes the subscription worth it, now we use the radio more often.
The sirius stb2 boombox has excellent sound and is sold packaged together with the companion tuner as a limited edition package for about 119.99 on line,at circuitcity.The unit listed on amazon is for the boombox only.Beware there is alot of price gouging on this unit.Further this model is being discontinued,and is being closed out at radioshack.Good deals may also be found on ebay.The boombox has excellent bass punch,and clean highs for a compact unit.There are no tone controls to drop the bass,a minor drawback.There is no place to stow the antenna.I wish the antenna was built in.Xm has been able to do this on several of their portables.Well i took advantage of the christmas sales and got the complete package for 89 bucks.Shop around if possible and please make sure you purchase from a retailer that has defective return privleges of at least 30 days.Thank you from Stewart L. 2/5/07
