XM Sportscaster reviewed by NYT
The New York Times runs a short review of XM Sportscaster, a new portable XM Satellite radio unit that can be moved from one car to another.
Unlike most satellite receivers, this unit is not meant to be permanently installed in a car. Instead, it comes with a magnetic rooftop antenna and a power source that plugs into a cigarette lighter. It links to the car’s audio system either through a built-in FM radio transmitter or a supplied cassette adapter. That allows users to move the radio to rental cars or other vehicles without bringing a professional installer into the picture.
The price is quoted at $60, but Amazon sells it for $39.99 with free shipping, so it seems like a pretty low-cost way to enter satellite radio world.
