It's interesting that XM is Jon's last resort. For me, it's my first choice. I hate constantly searching for a radio station as I drive. My truck's Sirius/XM radio solves this problem. I only listen to a few stations, but they really make a difference while driving long distances (or even short distances out in the boonies).

My old trailer didn't have any electronics. When camping, my Kindle was my faithful companion.

Sirius/XM radio is a must-have for my new trailer. ETI's radio isn't, so I'll install a Sirius-ready radio with a DVD player. With ETI prewiring the speaker cables and providing the power drop the install shouldn't be too bad.

Perhaps ETI doesn't install customer supplied radios any longer; all I know is that they won't install the radio I chose. I'm not complaining - I'm very pleased with everything they are willing to do.

They didn't have a problem installing my single DIN Kenwood radio with their speakers.

As to XM Radio, they have severe bandwidth problems, as least as far as listening to classical music, and here in the northeast the signal drops out on the slightest southern blockage, i.e. even little hills kill the signal. I noticed that there is less of a drop out problem in the southwest.

My other problem with them is there limited coverage of the NPR news station - no Morning Edition or All Things Considered in the afternoons. The weekends are almost continuous repeats. Better than nothing, but I prefer most of the live radio broadcasts. I do listen to some of the other news stations, as well as the blues, jazz, and Spa.

Well, actually I can do without NPR; I like public broadcasting only for the classical music. As for talk radio, I like to hear interviews, to learn how people think.
