> Anybody know where they are?

Reason I ask is that when my school took a trip to Philly, I brought my Roady 2 with the personal audio system. Couldnt get a signal worth a crap on the bus (would have to contort my head in the most uncomfortable position to get a reliable signal) until we got into Philly (when the terrerstrial site took over). Then, even with the antenna not near the window, I got a great signal.

BTW, personal audio system doesnt work worth a crap in cars/buses.<P ID="signature">______________

There's obviously one in Kenosha, WI because I can get a 3 bar repeater signal with no antenna hooked up to my radio.<P ID="signature">______________

XM Fan Store sells what is called the Clip XT antenna which is an improvement over the MyFI Clip on antennas included..If I sit on the right seat on a bus I can get a usuable signal, but there tend to be dropouts. The antenna works great when walking.

As far as repeaters, The only place I know there are repeaters is Akron, Ohio. I am pretty sure they are in Cleveland, also..

They put repeaters in mostly all metro areas, once I usually leave a fair to large size city, then i practically lose the signal in my car.
