Boombox dock, and you're ready to go. ![]("http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/b00008clzs-hand-remove-radio.jpg") |
The SKYFi radio receiver
inserts neatly into the SKYFi Boombox for satellite radio wherever you
want to take it. |
Note that the SKYFi radio receiver is available
separately and requires a monthly subscription. The convenient, portable SKYFi Boombox offers great sound with
dual-cone stereo speakers (also referred to as full-range speakers),
featuring a great range of lows and highs. The SKYFi Boombox is powered
by a 12-volt AC adapter (included) or six D batteries.
You'll get a clear XM reception with the included high-gain antenna,
which transmits the radio signal to a highly focused area. The 20-foot
cable can be easily positioned for optimal reception, from sitting on a
tabletop to mounting on a wall. It is recommended that the antenna be
positioned near a south-facing window or outdoors with a clear view of
the southeastern sky in order to receive the satellite signal. In some
cases, it will be possible to receive XM's signal through standard home
walls or a roof. When you're on the go with the SKYFi Boombox, the
antenna attaches conveniently to the back of the Boombox.
Other features include:
- Headphone mini-jack
- Integrated carrying
handle - Volume control (treble and bass settings controlled by XM SKYFi
radio receiver)

transmission. Service is not available in Hawaii or Alaska.

over 35 of which are commercial-free, and 31 news, sports, talk, and
