I've got one of those stereos in my Honda Civic. That's truly awesome!! I'm going to Best Buy and check them puppies out!

ALso, and I don't know if anyone else has noticed but the lower stations that used to have nothing on them, that are also used to pick up the satellite signal are now being used more and it makes it harder to get a good signal. -

serious_sam Thanks this.

Yup I've noticed and my experience is that its not just around the bigger towns any more.
Apparently it must be easy to get a low power station on the air. -
Yeah, now that you've mentioned it, I've noticed more radio stations around the 88-92 FM range here in the "asphalt jungle" of Raleigh in the past year or two.

Since the FM transmitter is built into the radio it doesn't matter. And with a company truck it's not always okay to start playing behind the dash with an inline setup.
-
A few years ago the FCC made the satellite companies put weaker FM transmitters in their radios. Since the ruling the newer radios will have the stations bleed through a lot. I got so frustrated with my new radio last year that I got on ebay and bought an old sportster radio made before the ruling. I haven't had a problem since.

My first sat radio would transmit roughly 1/4 mile. A friend and I would travel together. He would boost my signal in his truck ahead of me. It didn't seem to work so well if he traveled behind.
