Bought this as a gift and the radio didn't work. After working with tech support I missed my chance to return it.
For the price I paid and the monthly XM subscription it is definitely worth it to have The Verge (XM87) again.
This transistor must be facing south. I have XM in my car and it works great. This radio has a long wire leading to the transistor. So you are restricted in where you can put the radio in the house. I have friends with this radio and they have the transistor sitting outside their house on the front porch.
Since she had already activated the one in her car, she seemed pretty confident on getting this one set up at home. It came packaged very well and although I was initially concerned about it being a "Factory Refurbished" item I have no complaints. I picked this up recently for my Aunt, because I knew she had purchased XM for her car a couple months back. I was skeptical, but when she called me later in the week I could here her music blaring. The box arrived looking near new and everything that was supposed to be packaged in it was there too. I decided that instead of waiting until Christmas to give it to her, I would let her have it now. She told me it works beautifully and is very happy with it. I'm happy because she's happy and the price was a great deal.
I ordered one of these recently on Amazon's Gold Box special for $29.00. Although it was advertised as remanufactured but in like-new condition, it was far from "like new". The box had been roughly torn open, the owner's manual and warranty cards were missing, and some components were dirty and scratched.I had planned to use this primarily in my car, but discovered it also needed additional expensive accessories that were not included to use it in a vehicle.This lemon got packaged up and sent back to Amazon for a refund yesterday.
