Danny,

It works well enough, although there are several features I can't use 
because they rely on navigating menus, but what else is new?  I haven't yet 
taken it on a bus, but sitting outside on my deck, it works well. 
Unfortunately, satellite radio doesn't work as well in New England as it 
does in other parts of the country, so sometimes the signals are marginal.

Steve
