Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Delphi SA10224 SKYFi 3 Portable XM Radio Receiver with Vehicle Kit
Customer Review: Great Radio, but mine still has bugs
Summary: 3 Stars
This is my third portable xm radio. My first was the Delphi Skyfi2 (excellent unit), the 2nd was Samsung Nexus50 (terrible unit, don't buy it).
Like the skyfi2 this unit works as advertised. It is smaller than the 2, has longer memory (10hrs vs. 5hrs) and has a bigger display. It is an evolutionary improvement on the Skyfi2.
Unfortunately, my unit also locks up on me. There is no reset switch and you can't power it down when it does freeze up. Your only solution is to drain the battery so the unit power itself down. I would have rated this unit as a 5 star if it wasn't for this problem.
Customer Review: Great alternative to stationary radio
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this for my boyfriend because he loved my xm and he didn't have a decent radio in his old truck. I thought this would be a great alternative over trying to have a stationary radio installed. The skifi has a lot of neat features (namely being able to record for up to 10 hours and uploading mp3s). There have been a few minor glitches here and there, but usually these are corrected by powering off and on. The instruction manual needs a serious overhall (things are not put in logical step by step order). All in all this has been a great gadget for the price and my boyfriend loves it!Customer Review: nice unit , good features
Summary: 4 Stars
I was initially baffled by signal strength-related issues until I researched that earlier generations of satellite radio modulators (including units I'd purchased in 2004) far exceeded FCC legal output power. The remedy was to remove my regular FM antenna and then this unit worked fine on the frequency I selected.
The display area is nice and large, the buttons well-placed and the ability to access pre-set channels is convenient. I also like the capability to record songs and then play them back, using the unit as a portable mp3 player. The unit has good features for the price.
Customer Review: Good idea poorly executed
Summary: 1 Stars
The Delphi SkyFi3 is a radio with great ideads and is poorly executed. Great features, etc. but apparently the software programmers forgot to test all the log rhythms. I went through 3 of these with all the problems people have mentioned- log ups, not connecting to the PC, one of them had an annoying chirping sound. I was sad to do it- but I gave up and returned and got my money back. I now have the Delphi xpress RC- it worked right out of the box- sounds great, and does not lock up. Stay away from the SkyFi3 until they work out the issues.Customer Review: okay
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a very goode little gadget. It's a great way to listen to radio...but it's commercial free. That's a good thing about this. But, it does freeze up at lease a couple times a week. It still plays the song while it's frozen but you can't use any of the functions at all. So, usually what I have to do is unplug it and plug it back in about 2 minutes later that way it can refresh itself. Other that that. I like it. You can also record songs off the radio so you can listen to them on the go if you don't have the antenna with it.
