Steve,

I was looking on the xm site and at the online store.  I don't see anything that looks like an xm repeater.  I also did a search and it came up empty.  I must be
missing something.

Unless you use the regular home antenna, reception is not very good here and both the clip-on and built-in myfi antennas are about worthless.  I'm located
in central California.

From all reports, I get the feeling the people in the east have a better shot at the satellite than we do out here as I've talked to people who use the myfi as a
portable quite successfully.

So, I'm thinking some sort of repeater might be helpful here at least for portable listening around the house.

John,

When I first got XM, I really wanted a repeater, but none was
available at the time.  Now that I can get one, however, I'm not sure
I want to spend the money.
