I was going to buy one that mounts to the antenna b/c I thought it had to be mounted outside the cab. I have sirius in my house but haven't put it in my car or truck yet. How good does it transmit to the fm radio?

I have XM and it transmits flawlessly to the FM radio as long as the satellite antenna is close to the FM one. I am fairly certain Sirius is even better. My friend has Sirius and I can hear it in my truck if I am within a quarter mile of him.

That is one, you don't have to use the power adapter part but it does have an earphone type plug to do the fm modulator function.

I know I have recommended this site twice in this thread and numerous times in other threads but I have no connection with them whatsoever. I am just a satisfied customer after ordering things from them on many occasions.

Hmm... that one is out of stock too. What's the deal with everything being out of stock or discontinued??? :?

Sorry about that, I could have sworn it was in stock. This one is in stock as of right now.

This is a solid radio that you can get from most any KW or Pete dealer and some truck stops...

You can get one in the $70-$80 range.
