Volks,

I'd like to second the enthusiast endorsement recently given to Sirius
Satellite Radio by "caverat <caverat@ATTBI.COM>" on the Vanagon Mailing
List with one minor word of caution.

After four months I can say I like it a lot better than I thought I
would. Don't really use it much when I'm tooling along scenic byways
..... But when I had to make that dash across places like , say I-50
thru Nevada, it pays for itself.

And I finally found a radio station that plays my kind of diverse
musical tastes ... their "Organic Rock" channel.

One word of caution ...... It does not work well in the deep, heavy,
thick forest.

Washington, Oregon & .. Vancouver Island, not so good.

Huge areas where the signal would drop out often or not come in at all.

Note .. I also have my antenna under the luggage carrier.

Other than that.

Most Excellent. 5/5 rating.
