The illegal Sirius FM transmitter

[CAwasinNJ]

It's not news that some of the FM transmitters in Sirius satellite radio equipment is broadcasting at too high a power. What is news are the specifics about what they'll do about it per their agreement with the FCC.

"To meet the terms of the XM-Sirius merger agreement, Sirius XM Radio has sent a letter to Sirius subscribers explaining how to work around the too-high-powered FM transmitters in their receivers."

How many people do you think will actually do anything about this? A few probably will. I personally would at least do some checking. (I did do checking with my 3rd party units to make sure that the chances of interfering with someone else were very small, and as far as I know my unit is 100% legal.) In my opinion, the vast majority of people won't though.

Agree or disagree?

Does anyone have a list of specific makes/models that fall under this issue? I bought mine in late 2005 so I don't know if mine qualifies. I haven't seen a letter yet regarding it. I will watch.

Listening on the Stiletto II. It isn't an issue for me.

Can't even imagine the typical Sirius user caring about fm signal strength being too high.

I wish my P.O.S. receiver was broadcasting at too high a power. I should've wrapped more copper wire in there when I had the chance.

For anyone looking for refurbished units, DON'T BUY A SANYO!!!

I wish I could afford one of the ones that essentially allow you to make podcasts.
