Delphi RoadyXT XM Radio

[teddyv]

Hi Folks - flying home from Thanksgiving I got an Airtran coupon for a free Roady XT XM Radio (Link) with the purchase of three months service but cannot for the life of me find any real detail on it. It sounds too good to pass up but I'd really like to know...
1. Is it battery powered? Does it come with an AC converter?
2. Does it come with earphones, does it even have a jack?
3. Is the reception decent without the ($) external antenna?

Thanks Folks!

Check this link out, Google is your friend.

Thanks for the reply - I have googled the heck out of it and it seems to be the same XM-supplied text on every page (i.e. 90% what channels it gets and 10% on the power of the FM modulator.)

Was really looking for someone who owns it and is willing to give the owner's perspective.

#1 runs off a converter 12v or 110v
#2 It has an ear phone jack no ear phone incuded
#3 it requires the included external antenna to and will work ony with a good line of sight to the sky
There are portable units avail but the roady is more for use in a vehicle and will play through the FM radio using the built in modulator.
