* Satellite on the Go... ...
I purchased this unit for my SkiFi2 receiver about 2 months ago and have found this to be a great additon for this unit. Whether painting outside or taking it to the lake the boombox has performed very well. So far I am still on my initial set of batteries and have about 8-9 hours of runtime on them. Others have written that they are only experiencing about 3-4 hours of battery time. I am not sure if the brand of battery can make the difference but I have been running the Duracell Brand and it seems to work just fine.
I like the adjustments for bass and treble control when this unit is docked into the boombox. Equally, the volume output seems more than sufficient when we are out at the lake with friends for an evening of rest and relaxation. They like the variety of music offered through this service as well as the MLB games selection.
As far as the humming some say they have experienced, I have not had that issue either. I am very pleased with this purchase and would recommend this to anyone interested in expanding the use of their XM SKIFI unit beyond automotive use.

Works great, eats batteries
I really like the boombox, but it EATS batteries. Runs on 6 D's and they last about 3-4 hours if you have a solid signal, less if you're signal's weak. I keep it in the house mostly so that I can leave it plugged in. I wish it had an internal lithium I could recharge.

* Good product, easy to use ...
The sound quality is not excellent, but this could be due to a poor reception because of location restraints. Overall the stereo makes it easy to transplant the XM receiver from the car to the home, which was most important to me.
