Depends where you live. In the city where they have loads of terrestrial repeaters, you'll probably get good reception. Anywhere else, and it's going to be spotty at best, that's why you can record content to the units - you're not going to get a live signal all the time. As far as portables go, they don't really make any anymore, but you can grab an Inno/Helix on eBay. They are the same unit and both are great. Or use the SiriusXM app, which admittedly isn't great, and listen through your smartphone. That's how they want you to listen, and the reason why they don't make portable units anymore.

If you can still find one, then buy it. Remember you will have to use a headset as an antenna. The best one is also from Pioneer and is specially made for the Inno.

Amazon still has Pioneer Inno XM2GO portable radios, new and used, for sale, and you can record on them beingthat they are indeed in MP3 format. There are still some very good used deals available if you want to save some cash.

Are you asking because you actually want to get xm radio, or because you think it needs an antenna to navigate? I've never read any literature or seen anything in the 760 menu indicating any kind of satellite radio functionality. Unless you're trip planning indoors away from a window, you won't need ANY kind of external antenna.

I love this radio. It is my 4th. It is worth the price. It is long lasting. The only weak part is the plug for the headset which after a number of years becomes unreliable. One can attempt a repair, but the access and works space is a problem. This radio has the features I demand: power off after 90 minutes; long battery life; easy station selection; and, good sound (buy Phillips ACTION Fit earbuds).

Glad you asked this q as I am wondering the same thing! From what I can tell from research is that the tough talking one has a version of a radio that plays set tunes/microphone (which may be a fun add) and the color - both got great reviews. if you decided on one would be interested to hear which one you went with- thx!

I agree with Tom - the portable radioXMP3i (XM subscription) is best used outside in the open with the external antenna ear phone accessory. If you have a Sirius subscription the Lynx portable with vehicle accessories would be your best bet. Be forewarned satellite radio requires direct line of site to connect with the service! However, we do have the radio and have stuck the radio in our sunroof and as long as there is a direct line of site, it works.

Ernesto, The Aug MB100B is at our cottage so I can't check it for you. However, I also bought a Meloson M7 Rechargeable AM/FM DSP (Digital Signal Processing) Radio, MP3 Player & Portable Speaker with Built-in Micro SD/TF Card Reader and it is well worth the extra money. Sound and operation are much better, and it works great with headphones.....you will be glad you paid extra and got a much better Player.

I know with this one, this one has spotty reception, but I think that the one you may be looking for is this one: Pioneer GEX-INNO2BK Inno 2 Portable XM Satellite Radio with MP3 Capability. It looks the same, but I heard it gets better reception (I have the previous model), but if you are definitely looking into getting a Satellite radio, I think your best bet is to get the one that I mentioned. Just my personal opinion, also I've read a lot of good things about the other receiver.

I was looking forward to the 16gb bluetooth walkmans... until i realized they do not include FM radio like some of the 8 and 4gb models. I NEED MY RADIO TOO SONY! Grrr.Would be nice to have both for $320.I have used Sony Ericson Walkman Phones with SD slots , Bluetooth, and FM radio that sound just as good, but they are very expensive.With the 8 gb I can fit about 1400 tracks. Napster is great, but deleting old songs to fit new ones is getting old. I have about 12gb of music on my computer that I constantly have to switch out.The sound quality is unmatchable IMO as far as MP3 players go, so I am reluctantly hooked. Sux I have to wait another 6-12 mo for the capasity and features I expect from this line :-( I was looking forward to the 16gb bluetooth walkmans... until i realized they do not include FM radio like some of the 8 and 4gb models.

I didn't fit the XDNX1 in my truck. I dropped Xm this year because their selection of Christian radio was pathetic. Classic Vinyl was pretty good as is the Patriot channel. You can get the subscription for half the asking if you push back really hard. The will give you an intro rate of half with auto-renew and then you just have to cancel at the end of the year. Then they offer the rate again. Good Luck

Try using 107.9 as a frequency. It is a christian station but comes in crystal clear most of time for my xm.

I returned it I don't know if it was broken or not. It was not s portable xm radio like I thought it had to be plugged into the base station for xm the portable operation only played what was recorded to memory. I don't know if that's the way it works or was just defective I returned it

i own them both. the cc pocket is far superior to the sangean dt-200x and any other radio of this type. i own many radios both new and vintage,the cc pocket competes favourably with any of them.

The only competitor to Sirius satellite readio is XM satellite radio, they have some portable units, though I'm not aware of reception quality with them.

I have the previous version of this unit. I have used it in my car for over a year. I went to Radio Shack and got a plug for the unit and a lighter plug, found some used wire at home and made a power cord. I plug into my portable XM radio in the car, and by using a small Walkman, I can listen to Satellite Radio while I work in the warehouse. Or, with earmuffs over my earbuds, I can listen while I mow the lawn. :) -Dan S.
