Bob, consider this payback for the 'thousand cool points' bit!

I recently discovered that yes, the Internet does have a forum for just about everything. I recently have been stressing over trying to find the perfect Sirius set for my very picky GF. Well in my search for dirt on varrious models I found a site called siriusbackstage.com. I think it might actually be run by Sirius itself, but it's kind of a fan page. There is some decent info about individual receiver models. At any rate, in my searches I came across a guy that goes by 'ekeefe'. I very quickly discovered that like your friend 'rwenzing', he seems to be quite a inquizitive guy and has done several very interesting .. 'projects' w/ his satellite radio sets. Reading his posts I instantly thought of Bob.

• Adding a USB 2.0 Interface
  
• Homebrew Sirius PCR or PC controled receiver
  
• Adding an optical audio output
  
• A failed attempt to use an XM repeater for Sirius

He links some stuff to a similar site for XM people. Looks like he started there and just moved to Sirius stuff. One link (I can't find it now) showed a home-brew, rackmount XM receiver he built. Very cool stuff.

At any rate, enjoy..

 

Sounds like a real sick-o. Personally, I don't understand all that electronic voodoo. Wish I did, though.
