Review on Samsung YX-M1Z Helix XM2go Portable Satellite Radio featuring Built-in MP3 Player by Chp Rodgers

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very happy with the satellite radio

Helix surprised me. The Home kit fits perfectly in my car and uses the same power supply and antennas as my XM Sportcaster. The radio works great outdoors as long as you hold it. In this case, if you turn away from the south, it loses the signal. Antenna XM headphones will likely solve this problem. There are only two settings in memory. 100% XM or 50/50. You can't split 100% MP3. The radio is actually picking up a strong signal in my living room with no external antennas connected. Thus, the stand remains in an automatically connected state. Nice :) When I get out of the car I just bring it in, plug it into the included power adapter and plug it into my amp via the headphone jack. Works perfectly. The recording function is very smooth. It appears to be very well made. Good fit and finish. The screen is large and clear. It rotates when in the cradle. Nice feature.
