Re: [IRCA] Why? It's easy.

You can get a complete XM radio for about $150 for car or home. That leaves 
$100 for subscription fees. XM has not been charging any setup fees lately. 
Does your shortwave portable include an FM modulator so you can hear it all 
over your house? A readout, so you can see what song is playing? Free stock 
quotes and baseball scores? Baseball games from all over the country in FM 
quality? But if you like fading, static, and lots of screaming evangelists, 
hey, have a great time! Try XM on line for free. You'll like it. Karl N2KZ
