I didn't know that the FM modulator would degrade the signal that much. How
does that XM stuff work? Pretty decent? I've heard that you lose signal
under bridges and stuff. What kind of antenna do you use, the one that goes
on the glass (sticks inside and out) or one that you have to mount to the
roof? Have you heard which ones work better? I'd much prefer to not have to
drill into my roof and/or stick something to the paint on my truck.
