Rating: - Simply works!
I have three of these models and performance is great. One replaced a Sportster that died. The Stratus model does not have all the bells and whistles of the Sportster but I never used these features anyway.
Rating: - Cheap but you get what you pay for.
Gets interference all the time. When I press the channel buttons they don't always go to the channel. I have to press more then once. It was difficult to find a good corresponding radio channel. Not near as good as my old Starmate. I'm thinking Sirius may not be worth it.
Rating: - Awesome little radio
I found that the Stratus TK1 works much better than i expected given the mixed reviews. I found it quite easy to self install myself, it took a little over a half an hour. The reception is great where i live, no blank spots except near trucks using CB Radio. At home (i also got the home kit) the reception is twice as good. I also have internet access and can play it while i am at work. Programming with Sirius is wonderful and will get better when the XM stations become available to us. Worth my birthday money.
Rating: - Wait until the merger happens..this will be obsolete soon
In the past 3 years I've had to purchase 3 different Sportsters due to malfunctioning product. The Stratus is the latest price equivalent and a complete DOWNGRADE.
My SPORTSTER cost $50 last year and had the pause, rewind, fast forward buttons, 30 presets, and a stronger antennae. That broke and this is the replacement: 10 presets, poor antennae signal, no pause, rewind, or fast forward.
This product sucks and I've had nothing but problems with Sirius equipment.
Wait for the merger because this will be obsolete in a few months. Hopefully their technology will catch up. Listen online if you really need it.
