How well do the portable satellite radios work when back-packing in remote areas? Could you listen to a station at the bottom of Devils Sinkhole? or Golondrinas? or Sotano del Barro? or in a canyon while canoeing?
Do the car radios work just as good in the Sierra Madres as they do in a metropolitan area like San Antonio? When renting a car, it is a good idea to get a model that has satellite radio. That way, you get to test it before you get one, and it does add some fun to a road trip if you don't have your own CD's. You might also want to upgrade to a car with a "audio port." This would allow you to plug in your MP3 player. The internet is full of web sites explaining the pros and cons of satellite radio: http://www.orbitcast.com/forums/ >From an economic standpoint, the money you spend on upgrading to satellite radio, is money that you could spend on things you really need like a Stenlight, or groceries.

Did any of you ever upgrade the FM antenna on your speleo-vehicle so that you would get better reception in the rural areas? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
