WOW! This was a amazing watch. What a lovely surprise to see my friend and former PD, the late Kandy Klutch on here. She was an incredible talent and such a sweet lady. RIP
The first time I experienced XM Satellite Radio was when my dad bought the 2007 Honda Odyssey EX-L with Nav and RES. It was free for the first 3 months and the quality is very good. It showed the text of what was playing on the XM Satellite radio.
I remember the early hand held portable sets. I would go for a long walk with the unit, wearing the antenna on my head. It would fade in and out every few blocks, BUT it was WONDERFUL! Still it :))))) (with better reception) :)
Some memories there - including the Delphi radio - I owned THREE of them!! And a couple other models, too! In the early days of XM I delivered fire trucks around the country and lived on XM 60's on 6!! I'm glad I got to visit with Phlash in the studio several years ago!
@@wongalahara8196Wrong Wong. Xm subscriber since 2001. Programming took a huge dive after the merger - unless you count Howard Stern, who was already 10 years past his prime when he started, and is now an unlistenable part timer.
Ha wow - Cleveland Wheeler - I grew up listening to him on Q150 here in Tampa, FL. I miss Country Dan - I remember the early XM days - I used to listen to him every night. RIP Dan.
The Delphi boom box and setup is what I bought back in 2002. Back then there weren’t many commercial spots. Almost everything was a PSA from the Ad Council. They would run the same ads back to back until the Talk Shows returned from break. I’m from Florida. We would listen to Real Radio 104.1 Monsters of the Midday from Orlando while we traveled all over.
bought the delphi skyfi and then the skyfi 2, boombox and had it in my vehicles. I first subscribed in mid 2004..back in those days it was 9.99 a month. and you never had to call and haggle..etc it was just one flat rate. i had the service until roughly 2012 or so, quit a few years, and now i have siriusxm in my vehicle (since 2017) and use the app for streaming at home. I do miss the old XM days though.
@@MrRonfelder its much more developed these days and no longer relies on LoS transmission. Runs on a typical Frequency capable of going through objects. Still not as easy as general FM, but way better than having absolute LoS

I miss XM. It was cheaper (and better) than Sirius. As soon as Sirius and XM merged, the quality went downhill.
Xm stepped on toes and got bought. Now they do a million times more than before.
You got that right
How good it used to be back in the day
Pretty cool time capsule, I wonder what it could've been like if XM still existed. It'd be cool af tho.

I had a few of those headphone antennas

Nice vid! Phlash is the only survivor, most long gone. Country Dan RIP.
I miss the days when it was just XM, much more fun!
It was literally much much worse than it is now.
@@wongalahara8196 ok WONG, but i think he’s talking about the nostalgic sentiment.

XM AKA SiriusXM is my favorite radio.
It’s a lot different now.

Terry "Motormouth" Young - where is he?
KBAY. You can hear him on Saturday nights now. One of the best!
the summer before 9/11. the world was changing and nobody even realized i.
Sounded so much better. Sirius sounds like over-compressed crap.
I always thought Sirius sounded better, XM to me seems to have more audible codec compression artifacts than Sirius.
It's all compressed garbage coming from satellite. The quality actually has increased a ton, but it's still compressed crap.
@@wongalahara8196it's garbage radio
Remember “cross country radio” and “It”
BRING BACK 60's ON 6!!!!!!!!!!
It's now on Channel 73 as '60s Gold.
Your moms box
Too bad you did not show Matt the Cat
Too bad like so many things "radio", its a shell of its former self.
It was much worse in the early days than it is now.
XM and Sirius were such crap at the start. Less fidelity than FM.
It technically still has less fidelity due to it all being so compressed. Hd radio is miles ahead
@@wongalahara8196 except programming on hd radio is crap. also only line of sight

Sirius xm sucks
Kevin Davis No Sirius XM in Guam.
