Radios

Sirius is one thing I won't do without...except when far north where I get about 15 min an hour coverage.

Oh, and I never have to put the antenna up on a pole !

Here's the Channel lineup.

I don't think you can make Steve happy. Sirius XM has over 200 channels without commercials. Classical, Rock & Roll, Talk, Sports, Easy Listening, etc. The bonus is that you don't have to find a new station about every 50 miles. The antenna can go anyplace where there's a clear shot to the sky and its only about the size of a 50 cent piece. I have one receiver but cradles for it in the RV, toad, daily driver and a boom box. I haven't listened to over the air radio in 10 years.

The built-in RV radios are awful in every respect. The fact that there is so very little good programming on the air keeps me from replacing it. The satellite radio trial revealed more of nothing. A good supply of Podcasts fill the void. Jesus saves 24/7, country music by marginal talent, Obama is the Devil talk radio, bad mariachi, angry sounding rap music and whiny white girls with electronically augmented voices has me glad my radio has an iPod connection. There are some worthwhile over the air stuff, but you have to look for it. I have driven all 49 states (not forgetting Hawaii)and most of Canada and it's all the same. Yeah, C.Crane is a great place to look for a radio and antennas to grab those elusive radio waves. If you are reading this then you can go to http://www.radio-locator.com and find stations you might want to receive. You can find propagation maps to see if you can get a signal at your location. The daytime/night time maps are handy for AM radio reception. And, more... after a word from our sponsors. If I'm camped out in a remote location, maybe the last thing I would want to do is turn on the noise. Well, one reason could be just to confirm that the world is still out there and it hasn't blow itself to bits.

Cell coverage is completely different from off air radio.
If you are looking for deep fringe radio, check out C.Crane that's pretty much all they do.

As for the cell phone coverage. Buy a Wilson Sleek and outside antenna for better coverage.

X2 in the Wilson stuff. I have gone as far as taping a Wilson trucker antenna to a flagpole I carry to boost cell coverage.

Regardless of which radio.........need a good antenna and it may have to be raised up on a pole for any reception remote areas
