When my plane is done and I get the 496 I'm going to figure out someway
to use the 496 in place of the XM boom box at the hanger and also use

At the hangar, get a boom box with an auxiliary audio input. Hopefully, your
wife's car stereo has one, too; if not, you can use an FM modulator, but on
a trip, you'll find yourself retuning it regularly unless you get one that
will insert in the line between the antenna and the radio. In either case,
you can feed it with the 496's audio output. I carry mine on business trips,
just so I have XM in rental cars that don't have it.
