Consider this...
When listening to a "regular" radio, if you travel too far (30-40 miles) away from the source (the radio station that's sending radio signals out over the airwaves), the signal will start to fade in and out, and eventually all you'll hear is static. You're forced to start turning the dial to try to find another station... If you're in an area that has good reception, and If there's a station in the area you're even interested in listening to.
However, with satellite radio (which works much the same way as GPS works), as long as you can see the sky, (and your antenna is properly placed on top of the vehicle) then you're likely to maintain crystal-clear reception, no matter where you travel.
- You will never travel "out of range" of any program you're listening to.
- You will never hear static when searching for channels.
- You will never experience a program's reception fading in and out.
- You will never have to listen to radio commercials again.
As an added bonus, whenever you're traveling with a group of people with different tastes, you'll surely be able to find something along the lines of news, talk, music, or even a comedy channel that will make everyone happy. Satellite radio can meet the demands of even the most discriminating radio listener, covering everything from the most popular to the obscure -- and everything in between.
So, if you spend a lot of time offroad driving in remote or mountainous areas off the beaten path, or if you take a lot of long trips, or do a lot of cross-country travel, then you'll absolutely love satellite radio.
One thing's for certain: There is no comparison between FM radio and satellite radio. If given the choice between terrestrial vs satellite radio... choose satellite!
