The market is full of portable satellite radio units with more options than you can imagine. The portable satellite radio market has grown tremendously with Sirius and XM competing heavily for subscribers, and now is the time to get just the right portable satellite radio to fill your day with clear digital audio wherever you go.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Decide between Sirius and XM for your satellite radio service. These 2 providers offer a distinctly different range of choices to their subscribers.
Step2
Decide upon your price range as this is the greatest limiting factor of all. Budget-minded buyers can find many good units at a fair price. They will not offer the full range of features of the higher-end units, but you will be able to take your favorite satellite radio channels wherever you go. So don't worry if you do not have very much to spend, you can find many great units at a low cost.
Step3
Look around at the various department stores and electronics stores. The 2 service providers each have their own service-specific manufacturers, and each of these manufacturers offer an assortment of units available in any price range. The more features you want, of course, the more you will have to pay.
Step4
Research the various online markets for consumer electronics. There are many Internet clearinghouses that offer some great deals on portable satellite radios if you are willing to take a model that may be a few months old. This is where you have to decide what features you can live without; some of the higher-end portable satellite radio units can be very costly.
Step5
Do some research and check what various consumer services say, if anything, about the units you are considering. With a little extra work, you can easily find the right portable satellite radio for you.
