XM s/bug/feature!/

| | Comments (0)

I recently hijacked our car's portable XM music receiver, and have it hooked up in my office upstairs. Signal is tricky - the antenna is sticking to my lamp, facing the window, and gets just enough of the terrestial signal to work well.

About 2 feet away, is the base station for my phone.

The cool part: when my phone is in use, it generates enough radio frequency interference, that the XM radio signal is effectively blocked. Auto-mute! That's a feature you'd not be able to get, even if you were willing to pay for it..
