Buying Guide Mobile Satellite Radio
Radio Programming from the StarsTechnology has given us a new gift, the gift of Satellite radio. No longer are the days of AM and FM stations tuning out on road trips to California. Satellite radio's signal never fades, never produces static, and certainly will never bore you. At Abt, we carry the latest selection of satellite radios.

We have also created this page to help you on your search for your new listening pleasure, the Satellite radio. Digital Satellite RadioDigital satellite radio brings us many advantages over our current broadcast system.

Having more stations to choose from is only the beginning with Satellite Radio.

Up to 170 Channels
Imagine being able to find a radio station that plays exactly the kind of music you like. We're talking about being able to choose oldies music by decade, finding a station that plays nothing but Broadway show tunes, and choosing between classic jazz, contemporary jazz, or smooth jazz.

Fewer or no Commercials
The majority of digital satellite radio channels have no commercials at all.

Sound Quality
The sound quality on Satellite radio is comparable to that of a CD player and sometimes better. Below we have created a series of questions that will help you on your search for a new Satellite Radio. It's important to understand that there are two different companies behind Satellite Radio, at this time. If you'd like more information on both companies Sirius or XM radio, and if you need any further questions answered regarding Satellite radio you should contact one of our very knowledgeable sales person at 888-228-5800.

How's the sound?
Being a digital satellite system, both XM and Sirius are able to offer exceptional sound that's CD-like, without the static and interference that frequents traditional radio.

Is the reception affected by things like heavily wooded areas? What about tunnels?
Things like highway overpasses and tress won't usually cause any problems, but there are some rare obstructions that no satellite signal can penetrate.
