Design
At just under three inches wide and 4.5 inches high, the
TXM1020's palm-friendly size makes it great for use as a belt-mounted
radio. The backlit LCD display is large enough to display the wealth of
information that comes with XM radio service: Song and program titles,
artist name, a playback progress bar, a clock, channel
information and signal strength cover the basics. Meanwhile, the screen
can also display additional information like a stock ticker and sports
scores. The device's user interface offers a circular control button
that controls volume and playback, while a numeric keypad lets you input
stations directly. The charging and cradle interface is on the bottom of
the unit. The headphone jack, antenna jack and tuning control dial are
placed on the sides of the unit. There's also a wireless remote that
ships with the TXM1020 that duplicates much of the controls on the unit.

Features
The TXM1020's channel preset function makes it easy to
quickly navigate to your favorite channels. The 30 channel preset memory,
divided into three 10-channel groups, allows you to organize your
favorites any way you want. Meanwhile, the channel preview function lets
you use the tuning control dial to preview content playing on other
channels without having to tune away from your current channel. And if
you're the type who can never remember the name of that song you liked,
you can save the artist and title of up to 20 songs for future reference.
You can even program the TXM1020 to alert you when an artist or song is
playing on another channel. To top it all off, the TXM1020 features
built-in memory that can record up to five hours of XM programming. Set
the TXM1020 to record what's currently playing, or schedule up to two
recording sessions. These recording features are great if you often
travel in areas where XM reception is spotty.

The palm-sized TXM1020 is designed to deliver XM satellite programming wherever you roam.

In the Car, at Home, on the Go
The best
feature of the TXM1020 is its astonishing flexibility, thanks to a long
list of included accessories. When you're out and about on foot, you can
use the TXM1020's built-in satellite antenna to tune into XM programming.
A rechargeable battery offers five hours of battery life and, as
mentioned, the TXM1020 ships with earbuds for private listening. An
included belt clip also cleverly doubles as a table stand.

The TXM1020 has you covered when you're on the road, too. The unit
ships with a vehicle docking station that provides all the necessary
connections to your car audio system, as well as a magnetic roof- or
hood-mount antenna, and three mounting brackets (a flat surface mount, a
vent mount, and a swivel mount). Power is supplied by a 12-volt
cigarette lighter adapter, and you can choose to route audio to your
stereo via a direct mini-jack to RCA connection (yes, the cable is
provided!), an included cassette player adapter, or via the TXM1020's
built-in FM frequency transmitter, which allows you to tune into the
TXM1020's signal via your car's FM tuner.

And when you're at home with the TXM1020 you can simply plug the unit
into your home stereo via the mini-jack to RCA connection that's
provided on the included home docking station. If you like, you could
also use the FM transmitter. Power is provided by the included home AC
adapter, and the home antenna (yep, included!) has a hinged base for
optimal positioning. The antenna can also be mounted to any vertical
surface or an exterior wall.
