AnthonyD Posted February 28, 2006 #1 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I was thinking of bringing an XM radio along with headphones for poolside and cabin usage. I love XM. Anyone have any experience in the Eastern Carribean with XM? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have any experience in the Eastern Carribean with XM? Thanks I remember reading somewhere XM signals drop out south of the bahamas, Sirius OTOH works throughout the caribbean with only a few dropouts. Edit: Actually, after looking at the footprint it looks like alot of the caribbean gets coverage but a pretty poor signal. take a look at xmfan dot com and do a search for footprint. It will show you the limits of the coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Thomas likely not and labadee will be a maybe. Thanks for the tip. btw, I hear it works fine in Bermuda from someone who lives there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weez Posted February 28, 2006 #5 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Sirius orbits in a figure 8 right over the caribbean. Looks like they have coverage everywhere. Take a look [/url] here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
