Amazon.com Product Description
One of Sirius' easiest to use and most affordable receivers, the Sirius Stratus 4 is a must for satellite radio fans who want a less-expensive entry into the satellite radio market. Just like other Sirius-compatible receivers, the Stratus 4 offers a large, easy-to-read display and an intuitive front control panel--a 2.5-inch, 3-line display, to be exact. But for people who spend a lot of time in the car, the Stratus 4 is designed to seamlessly complement your driving routine thanks to the bundled car kit. 
The Stratus 4 features a large, easy-to-read display, and an intuitive front control panel. View larger. | 
Move your music effortlessly between car, home, or office. | As an added convenience, the Stratus 4 supports Sirius' universal docking architecture for easy compatibility with other Sirius accessories and docks in other vehicles and in the house. An intuitive three-line display tells you the channel name and number, artist name, and song title. The receiver also lets you program up to 10 presets of your favorite streams, as well as search by channel name and music category. And with a quick press of the one-touch jump button, you can instantly switch between the traffic and weather reports for your city or any of the other music, news, or entertainment channels. Other programming details include direct station tuning via the numeric buttons and a channel lock option. The Stratus 4 also includes a built-in FM transmitter that sends Sirius radio programming to your vehicle's FM tuner, so you don't have to make a direct connection to enjoy the full array of channels. Simply set an empty FM frequency on your radio and tune the Stratus 4 to the same frequency. The transmitter also works with other FM tuners, such as the one on your home stereo, but is easily paired with the car thanks to the vehicle kit, which includes everything you need for listening to Sirius while driving. Other features include a real-time clock, a parental lock function that restricts listening to locked channels, and large easy to use buttons. The Stratus 4 measures just 9.5 x 7.5 x 3 inches.

Nice radio -- Weak signal September 15, 2008
R. Meyers (Monrovia, CA United States)
I purchased this radio along with a Home Installation Kit about a month ago. My main intention was to listen to college/pro football games not carried here on the West Coast.
Use in the car has been excellent with no problems except a short loss of signal while in a tunnel.
However, use at home has been less than stellar. Apparently, the 'satellite' is located in the central US and supplemented by a ground based antenna on the East and West Coast. I have two home kits with one installed in a west facing upstairs window and the other in an east facing upstairs window. Reception is sporadic. In general, the signal is fine for about 1/2 to 1 1/2 hrs and then fades out for about 1/2 hr. Unfortunately, this seems to happen in the 4th quarter of a close game and every day around sundown. I'm happy with the progamming available just don't like the interruptions. If the signal was steady at all locations I would have rated the system at 5 stars.
Nice introductory model, but lacks options . September 10, 2008
Timothy Stears
Bought this unit to replace my Audiovox PNP2 which crapped out after four years of daily use. This unit works fine but lacks features like multi-band presets. My old unit could be programmed to hold 30 stations, this one only 10. Also, can't browse through categories to see which songs are playing on what station. Also dosen't remember any favorites either. The unit works fine, but if I had to do it again, I'd spend more money for a unit with better features.
 Sirius Fan August 22, 2008
E. Reilly (Fitchburg, MA USA)
When my Starmate 1 finally burned out after 6 years, I got the Stratus 4 as an upgrade. It is much better looking and easier to use than the old one, and if you already have Sirius, you know that the service itself is fantastic. The only thing that actually seemed worse was the reception. Believe it or not, the old one sounded much better. For what it's worth, I think this is an across-the-board modification to all of their newer radios. I don't think another model would be any different. My solution is that I've stored a few different preset stations, and usually one of them is pretty decent. It's a little annoying, but not enough to want to go without Sirius.
