Review:
The biggest increase still for satellite radio must be Delphi's radiant MyFi XM2GO movable satellite radio receiver and digital music player. The MyFi can record and play back up to five hours of XM's digital programming whenever and wherever you decide. It requires a subscription to XM satellite radio $12.95/month, but just

Compact and easy, to use the MyFi offers 150 XM satellite channels.

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 also as premier news, sports, talk, traffic, and weather listings.

The MyFi comes with a densely filled box of accessories, as well as everything from headphones and antennas to a remote control, belt clips, and separate docking device for integrating the receiver with your home and car stereos. Smaller than a PDA, the receiver exudes greatness before you hear it: it is just heavy enough to seem solidly built still light enough to merit the term "portable." The receiver comes with world class manuals, from its info sheet to the longer quick start guide to the 42 page user's manual separate English and Spanish editions of each are provided.



An illuminated six line LCD is your gateway to browsing XM's programming. you may be able to browse by station, by group, or our favorite by now playing artist. Thirty channel presets change access to your favorites, and a useful memo button stores artist and song data for up to 20 performances you'd want to look into afterward or find again on XM.



Any satellite radio system requires a pretty heavy duty antenna. therefore, 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 are hoofing it, and a fitted antenna. Our home reception was perfect we never experienced a single drop out. Car reception was spottier, although still excellent. You just have to get used to the fact that where analog radio gets noisier in regions with poor reception, satellite radio drops out altogether, it is either all there, very clear, or all absent. And that is where My XM, MyFi's recording feature, comes in useful.

The MyFi mounts easily in most vehicles.

My XM allows you to record XM programming to MyFi's onboard memory perfect for time changing your listening as with a news program or a scheduled performance on XM Live or for tuning in when you will be somewhere missing XM reception in a canyon, on a subway, in a windowless cubicle, etc.. you may be able to 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 not erase anything unless you clear the memory which means you can not whittle away songs you do not like to keep your favorites. it is also important to remember that when you have filled the unit's memory 128 MB, or 5+ hours of full bitrate XM radio, it will record over earlier material, starting from the top. throughout playback, but, My XM allows you to skip easily from track to track and pick from a list of all tracks.



you may be able to configure the MyFi's LCD to scroll stock and sports score tickers, a good way to keep an eye on important stats. The receiver includes a fitted sleep timer 15 minutes to one hour and an alarm clock wake to a beep or to XM programming.

What's in the Box


For car use, you have an option of mounting alternatives for the car cradle: flush mount, vent mount, or swivel mount. The cradle houses a power jack for a DC car power adapter included, an antenna input, and an audio output for use with the provided cassette shell audio adapter. you may be able to use the cassette adapter or the MyFi's fitted wireless FM transmitter, which turns any FM radio into an XM radio. Audio quality is better using the supplied cassette audio adapter, but. You can also buy a wired FM adapter, although XM asserts that the cassette adapter sounds better than that, too.

The Delphi XM MyFi comes complete with all of the accessories required to enjoy XM anywhere.

Positioning the car antenna may be inelegant, in spite of its heavy duty magnet. you may be able to have it professionally installed or live with an exposed antenna cord, although XM recommends using "existing holes, body grommets, and other wiring channels" rather than closing a door over the cord daily. The receiver's battery pack proved good for about five hours between charges. The included earbud headphones are neither comfy nor especially well made, a nicer set could represent XM's strong sound quality. Michael Mikesell
