Ron,

I tried in air all along the California to Wisconsin route going to and of
from OSH in late June. It worked on the ground in Oshkosh and Livermore,
but not at SLC or Rapid City and Pierre, SD. It did not work on the ground
15 miles outside of Oshkosh. In air, it work once by Minniapolis(sp?) and a
few times in the middle of Nevada. We were at alttitudes from 10,000 to
FL230.

On the good side, the XM radio worked the whole way. So as soon as they get
the kinks worked out of the XM system that might be the way to go.

Wisconsin and Minn do not have support outside of urban areas. There

was
not support in either Pierre or Rapid City, SD, or Salt Lake, UT.

Gee, I don't know what you term "urban". But it worked all the way from

MKE to
OSH. Remember that you get a lot more range on the system a few thousand

feet
up. The thing works much better in the air than on the ground.
