1.0 out of 5 stars Warning, April 25, 2006

This review is from: GPX BCDW9815CNP CD/MP3/WMA Boombox with XM-Ready AM/FM Tuner (Electronics)

I bought this GPX XM ready radio and it worked fine for a little over a month. Always had to be careful when moving the radio when I had the XM antenna connected to it. The antenna sticks out when connected to the XM jack and is very FRAGILE! One bump and your XM radio antenna jack is ruined but the AM and FM is still O.K. but who cares, no more XM. The Sound Quality was so-so even during the short time that it did work.

I have since bought a new XM AUDIO SYSTEM distributed by the Belkin Corporation. All I can say is I wish I would have spent a little more the first time and got the Belkin instead of the GPX. There is no AM or FM (who cares) and the XM music is crystal clear with the Delphi RoadyXT. It really sounds excellent and plenty of volume. Before I forget the XM antenna jack is recessed on the back of the case! Who ever that engineer was, must be a smart thinker!

P.S. I'll never buy another GPX product.

This radio is truly a cheap product. The first one I had never worked with the XM Antenna - I returned it and the seond one promtply stopped working as well. Don't waste your money on this one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good XM/CD/FM/AM Boombox ...... If you plan to leave it in one place., March 21, 2007

I bought this boombox knowing the possible XM antenna jack failure, It did not matter to me because I would not be moving it. If you are wanting a Mobile XM boombox to carry around with you get the Belkin F5X007 for the Roady XT or Audiovox Xpress. THIS IS NOT A "TRULY" MOBILE XM BOOMBOX!!

With a 50ft xm antenna cord and the jack sticking out so far It;s more a mini-home unit rather than a boombox. But for a simple ALL IN ONE XM/FM/AM/CD boombox ,this is a good radio.

PROS,

All in one unit (minus the XM antenna add-on)

Remote

CD/MP3/WMA player

XM Ready (with Antenna add on)

CONS,

Fragile XM antenna port (IF MOVING UNIT BE VERY CAREFUL!!)

One line display for XM Artist/Song info.

No TuneSelect

Not very mobile (XM BOOMBOX WISE).

CONCLUSION: GOOD BUY IF YOU WANT A "ALL IN ONE" XM/CD/FM/AM Unit, Just don't plan on moving this around alot.
