Unfortunately, you cannot use the same equipment and subscription for both
XM Radio and WxWorx.

The WxWorx portable receiver, however, will allow you to use a single
antenna for both XM Radio receiver and WxWorx.

For the entertainment factor, I went with Sirius. I just like the
programming a bit better, and I got awesome deals on equipment. I have a
Sirius tuner in my Jeep, and a portable Sirius tuner for use with my home
stereo and in the plane. It REALLY makes a difference on long trips!

I also have the NavAir PPC datalink system using WxWorx. I need two boxes.
Even if I used an XM receiver for the tunes, I would still need two boxes.

There is an effort to build a single box that does both, but it is not on
the market yet.

For the price, however, these systems ROCK! I can't imagine long x-countries
without either, and they will be going with me to OSH...

Can anyone comment on them? Sirius or XM? What's the difference?

If you go with XM, I think you can use the same reciever and subscription
to get WX-Works weather if you eventually get your instrument rating.
