The SIRIUS S50 satellite radio lets you listen to stations in your car or on the go.
The SIRIUS S50 is a portable satellite-radio system that lets you listen to your favorite radio stations on the go as well as in your car. The radio includes software for connecting the device to your computer; ports for connecting the radio to any vehicle and external receivers, and also the ability to store your favorite radio stations in its memory. The SIRIUS S50 is not immune to problems--including not receiving stations properly, not powering on and not broadcasting sound through its output ports.
