I just bought my first Satellite Radio (Sirius) for our annual family trip to Mexico. I was very pleased with the results. I live in Las Vegas and travel through Arizona, cross the border at Nogales and drive another 300 miles south to San Carlos, Sonora. The first nice surprise was the terrestial signal supplied in Las Vegas. I was able to listen to the radio while parked in the garage. I expected dropouts as I drove through the Hoover Dam, but I never had a dropout. After I crossed the border, I kept wondering when the thing would lose the signal..It never lost the signal.

So now I know I can go 300 miles south of the border and recieve the signal, has anybody else received a signal further away?
