Hello Dave, and welcome to the forum.

That is a great question. One I havent really pondered yet. However the the HD Radios are going to have similar troubles with their hand small hand held units like the Insignia HD50, and the upcoming Zune HD.

Im not familiar with Sat. Radio enough to opine....but Im sure that one day soon, I will be. FM is a much longer wavelength transmission from what I understand. Maybe just a bit of appropriate length wire would help.

I do know that many FM portables use headphone wires as antennas.

Maybe there is a need for a Sat. Radio Antenna Guide. I may do a short addendum to the FM HD Radio Antenna Guide on them for now, but I still have a lot of work to do on the FM HD Radio Antenna Guide.

OK thanks for your help so far. I'm still researching a few antennas myself. Will try to post back here if anyone is interested.

I really like the look of the XMp3 and options but it's $284.99 and out of stock on the XM site.
