satellite radio??

I’m a rookie, right out of school.

What’s the best satellite radio for trucking? I’m guessing a portable system but should it have ear buds, speakers or what. I know it should be rugged because its going to be handled a lot. Also, should I also get a CB? What’s the best for this? How do you deal with the antenna requirements?

I have a sirrus one it is portable it uses a cig lighter plug and the ant I am told to just put on the dash and it will work the hook up for he sound for the truck is on fm moduglator that plays the music through the current radio on a preset channel or it can hook up to the stereo in the truck with a wire sold seperatly.
Cb's get one that you can afford for now or send a little more and get a cobra
I have a Cobra 29 nightwatch the panel for the buttons light up so at night you can see what you are messing with. My ex boss bought me that at the kw dealer here in town.
The antenna for the cb should be mounted on the truck already so there are no problems there. Just plug it up connect the antenna then you should be set you may have to do minor tweaks to get the best quality out of your cb but you need to know what you are doing for that.

I have a Sirrus Starmate 2,with remote control.Came with tuner,suction cup mount,antenna,and remote.Cost $32.00 at BestBuy.From what they say,Sirrus and XM are going to merge,so who knows what will happen to the programming then.As for a CB,get a Cobra 29LTD Classic,a Roadking 56 mic,and your good to go.If your truck doesn`t have an antenna,get a Firestick w/adjustable tip.They won`t cost you an arm and a leg,and are easy to tune.
