Anyone wanna sell me a used XM radio?

[Diceman Cometh]

Moving to Buffalo for law school, and I need something in the kitchen to listen to during breakfast, and I dont intend to lug my boombox and Roady 2 up and down the stairs every morning. Any offers?

[Skeet Slambone]

Just run a set of speakers into the kitchen. Total cost, under $20.

Aren't roady 2's like $50 now? Don't think u can get a whole lot cheaper, man...

If I get a Roady 2, I need a radio for it...which brings it close to $100...I may as well add another few bucks and get the XM Boombox

With all the cash you're saving by going to Buffalo instead of Boston, I'm sure it won't bust your cash flow.

you will not beleive how cheap it is to live in buffalo compared to a real city like boston. go splurge and buy whatever you will need.

That's one of the things I hear about Buffalo.....everyone tells me that I'm gonna be in for a very pleasant suprise, moving from the most expensive city in the country (maybe the world? - New York City) to Buffalo.

You could invade Canada and nobody is going to stop you. I'm sure all their money is worth at least a hundred or two USD.

If you have the Cambridge Soundworks boombox or a home kit you can just power up your Roady2, leave the headphone jack unplugged, and then any radio in the house/apt./etc can receive off the FM modulator. This works far better with radios with digital tuners... My clock radio doesn't receive the signal at all, but the ten year-old boombox I keep in my garage does receive it, and both are analog-tuned. Digital tuners will receive and hold the signal with no problems. This way you can listen anywhere in your home where there's a radio.

You dont need a boombox for it at all. You can pick up a pair of used computer speakers pretty cheap and they plug right into the middle jack i people it is where the tape deck adaptor or head phones would go

But he can't move it from room to room, which was the original idea. If you want to listen to your radio around the house, just use the FM modulator. He said he already has a boombox... I presume it's the Cambridge one, unless there's another boombox for the Roady2. Real easy, just unplug that headphone jack and listen on your FM radios. Easy. That's what I do...

[fhore twentee]

I'd sell you my extra Roady2 for $30 but I don't business with your people.


It's been a tradition of my family & heritage for hundreds of years, you have to understand.

Actually, I meant just a regular old boombox, and I currently use my Roady2's FM modulator to listen through the boombox.

But I dont get something....do you mean that you have just ONE XM unit that has an FM modulator, and you can tune all the FM radios around your house to it? I dont think my Roady2's FM modulator is strong enough to send out a good signal past 10 feet or so...then it gets staticy. Is there something I'm missing here?

Is there some way I could use an FM modulator powerful enough to be able to pick up signals all around the house? Would the home kit accomplish that?

Don't mind him...he's a bit confused :action-sm

I bought a Belkin FM Modulator from Best Buy (I bought the Car one, because it has a cig lighter adapeter) I didn't buy it to use in my car, but rather in my house. I bought a universal AC adapter and plugged it into the the place where the Cig Lighter adapter would go... then I put a splitter on the output of the Home Kit form my SkyFi(1) - it's wired into the AUX IN of my bedroom stereo, and FM outputs to my shower radio, my alarm clock, my surround sound system in the Theater Room, the stereo in my sunroom, and my cheap FM headphones for mowing the lawn.

Total cost was about $40... and I get XM wherever I need it around the house/yard.

Yeah, I have just one and it does work all around the house, but again, only with radios that have digital tuners. When I first tested this out I had the unit in an upstairs bedroom and got rock-solid reception in my CAR about two hundred feet from the house...

But if you don't have digital tuners you can try the external modulator, perhaps even the Belkin model mentioned above.

I know this a thread about selling something. But I have a question to anyone who owns a roady. I have an XM ready radio in my car, that I bought from best buy. Although I travel alot on the road and times I don't drive my car I rent one. If I bought the Roady 2 for say $49 bucks, do I have to open another account from the account that I already have in my everyday vehicle?

[Diceman Cometh]

Holy shit, that is amazing....that pretty much makes owning more than one XM radio in the house obsolete, right? FUCK! I already put in a bid on ebay for an Audiophase XM-ready boombox. eh, at least it cane play MP3s on CD. :icon_mrgr

Well, not another ACCOUNT, but you do have to pay the additional service for another radio - $5.99 is it?
