The biggest boost yet for satellite radio has to be Delphi's radiant MyFi XM2GO portable satellite radio receiver and digital music player. The MyFi can record and play back up to 5 hours of XM's digital programming whenever and wherever you choose. It requires a subscription to XM satellite radio ($12.95/month), but just table align="right" width="200" cellpadding="5" tr td img border="0" img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/myfiheadphones.jpg " border=0 align=topbrfont size=-1brbi Compact and easy, to use the MyFi offers 150 XM satellite channels./i/b /font/td/tr/table about everything else you could want for home, outdoor, or car listening comes in the box. XM's 150 channels include 67 commercial-free music channels as well as premier news, sports, talk, traffic, and weather listings.p The MyFi comes with a densely packed carton of accessories, including everything from headphones and antennas to a remote control, belt clips, and separate docking apparatus for integrating the receiver with your home and car stereos. table align="left" width="150" cellpadding="7" tr td img border="0" img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/xmlogo1.jpg " border=0 align=topbrfont size=-1br /font/td/tr/table Smaller than a PDA, the receiver exudes greatness even before you hear it: it's just heavy enough to seem solidly built yet light enough to merit the term "portable." The receiver even comes with world-class manuals, from its tips sheet to the longer quick-start guide to the 42-page user's manual (separate English and Spanish editions of each are provided)./p p An illuminated six-line LCD is your gateway to browsing XM's programming. You can browse by station, by category, or (our favorite) by currently playing artist. Thirty channel presets simplify access to your favorites, and a handy memo button stores artist and song data for up to 20 performances you'd like to look into later (or find again on XM)./p p Any satellite radio system requires a fairly heavy-duty antenna. Accordingly, the MyFi comes with four: one for the home (place it in a south-facing window), one for the car (mount it on the roof or trunk), a clip-on antenna for when you're hoofing it, and a built-in antenna. Our home reception was perfect--we never experienced a single drop out. Car reception was spottier, though still excellent. You just have to get used to the fact that where analog radio gets noisier in areas with poor reception, satellite radio drops out altogether; it's either all there, crystal clear, or all absent. And that's where My XM, MyFi's recording feature, comes in handy./p table align="left" width="150" cellpadding="4" tr td img border="0" img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/myficar.jpg" border=0 align=topbrfont size=-1brbiThe MyFi mounts easily in most vehicles./i/b /font/td/tr/table p My XM lets you record XM programming to MyFi's onboard memory--perfect for time shifting your listening (as with a news program or a scheduled performance on XM Live) or for tuning in when you'll be someplace lacking XM reception (in a canyon, on a subway, in a windowless cubicle, etc.). You can schedule a recording or start and stop recording at any time you wish, and new recordings pick up where you last stopped. But you can't erase anything unless you clear the memory--which means you can't whittle away songs you don't like to retain your favorites. It's also important to remember that when you've filled the unit's memory (128 MB, or 5+ hours of full bitrate XM radio), it'll record over earlier material, starting from the top. During playback, however, My XM lets you skip easily from track to track and even pick from a list of all tracks./p p You can configure the MyFi's LCD to scroll stock and sports-score tickers, a great way to keep an eye on important stats. The receiver also features a built-in sleep timer (15 minutes to 1 hour) and an alarm clock (wake to a beep or to XM programming)./p bWhat's in the Box/bbr p For car use, you have a choice of mounting options for the vehicle cradle: flush mount, vent mount, or swivel mount. The cradle houses a power jack for a DC vehicle power adapter (included), an antenna input, and an audio output for use with the provided cassette-shell audio adapter. You can use the cassette adapter or the MyFi's built-in wireless FM transmitter, which turns any FM radio into an XM radio. (Audio quality is better using the supplied cassette audio adapter, however. You may also purchase a wired FM adapter, though XM asserts that the cassette adapter sounds better than that, too.)/p table align="center" width="400" cellpadding="4" tr td img border="0" img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/components2.jpg" border=0 align=topbrfont size=-1brbiThe Delphi XM MyFi comes complete with all of the accessories needed to enjoy XM anywhere./i/b /font/td/tr/table p Positioning the car antenna can be inelegant, despite its heavy-duty magnet. You can have it professionally installed or live with an exposed antenna cord, though XM recommends using "existing holes, body grommets, and other wiring channels" rather than closing a door over the cord on a daily basis. The receiver's battery pack proved good for about five hours between charges. The included earbud headphones are neither comfortable nor particularly well made; a nicer set would represent XM's strong sound quality. i--Michael Mikesell/i/pp bPros:/bbr /pul liTruly portable satellite-radio receiver /liliSimple setup /liliIncludes a wealth of accessories /liliExcellent sound quality /liliGreat reception indoors and out /liliConvenient five-hour recording mode /liliLets you skip from song to song while playing recordings /liliWell-written manuals /liliPermits channel browsing while listening /li/ulp bCons:/bbr /pul liCar antenna tricky to arrange for permanent use /liliNo hold switch /liliCan't save or delete specific recorded tracks /liliNo elapsed-time or time-remaining displays for live or recorded programming /li/ulp MyFi receiver with a clip-on antenna, an integrated rechargeable battery, a complete home accessory kit (with antenna and audio cable), a complete vehicle accessory kit (with antenna), stereo earbud headphones, a remote control, a remote battery, a belt clip/stand, a protective carrying case, and quick-start guides and user's manuals in English and Spanish./p/span

 Some bugs you should know about October 16, 2008
C. M. Hartman (Eugene, Oregon United States)
I bought my Delphi XM2go in 2006. I am still using it and still loving it!! But here is what you should know: br /After six months of use, it started to freeze up and stop working. It turns out that you have to change the battery a few times a year. Also, it turns out that the "home set" dock is a sensitive little thing. The little pins where you plug in your device, so it can recharge etc..well, the little pins go bad. Seriously bad. br / br /I ordered, like, 4 different home sets just to get new docks. They work fine for awhile...and then they don't. Really, my actual XM2go radio unit always works absolutely fine and has not needed servicing or replacement. My problems were with the battery and the dock, that's all. Finally I decided to just leave it in the dock and use it like a non-mobile, non-"2-go" device, and it seems much happier. br / br /LOL, when I talked to their service dept, they said I shouldn't have bought this unit at all, that I should buy the Inno instead!
