I've used my XM Radio on several trips thru the Lakes Region. I get very good reception in most locations. The only difficulty I have is when I'm on a narrow road with very tall trees blocking the southwest sky. For example, there are a couple of places on Meredith Neck Road where the signal will occasionally drop out.

I have a first generation XM radio (November 2001); the reception may have improved in newer radios.

I purchased my radio from Crutchfield.com; a friend helped me install it. I'm very pleased with the result. By contrast, I chose to use Circuit City to install the XM radio in my wife's card. They did a very sloppy job which required substantial clean-up and re-wiring.
