    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 miss XM. It was cheaper (and better) than Sirius. As soon as Sirius and XM merged, the quality went downhill.

    Pretty cool time capsule, I wonder what it could've been like if XM still existed. It'd be cool af tho.

    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!

    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.

      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.
