a few things about SR that they DON'T tell you.

The signal from SR doesn't go thru buildings, tunnels or around
obstacles. Like a global positioning systems (which uses three satellites to give you a position) SR has "line of sight" reception, which means that anything in the way of your antenna and the satellite breaks up your signal.

You need to put a home unit near a window, or run an antenna outside...

They are currently putting 'repeaters' in big cities to increase the reception in areas where the reception is poor....a repeater is just an amplifier that boosts the signal in areas where buildings
get in the way.......


To keep you subscription going you can pay a flat yearly rate or go monthly....by credit card only...

The units are going down in price.......but the subscriptions are 13 dollars a month...

Think of it as 'cable tv' for your radio.....

I have an old TV that I put out on my patio during the summer....

In order to watch cable I had to run a line off of the TV in the house out the window.....otherwise, it's channels 2-13 only.
