After 6 months, it stopped working because of a short in the wiring between the receiver and the repeater. Very disappointing. The wiring is very light gauge.
I tried the indoor antenna and got terrible reception. The key to getting good reception in your house is having the Echo transmitter connected to an outdoor antenna. The Echo system is a great way to move your radio all over the house without needing extra wires. I have the Echo transmitter installed on the second floor of my house, and the receiver (attached to the radio) 2 floors down in the basement. It works beautifully. Once you have the outdoor antenna you're going to get great reception and a strong signal.
i can now use sirius radio anywhere in house including basement,and outside on deck with no worries about antenna.receiver is small,i velcro'd to top of boom box.good procuct.
Works as advertised, makes it so much easier to get the signal all over the house especially when hooked up to the outdoor antenna from Sirius.
The installation is very easy. Just plug in the repeater at the location of the antenna and the receiver by the radio and the job is done. I receive excellent reception and have been using the device for a month now with out any problems. So with the Sirius Echo SIR-WRS1 I was able to leave the antenna on the first floor and move the radio to the second floor. I was unable to find a suitable location to mount an antenna on the second floor to receive a satellite signal. I have the sirius radio for use in the home and wanted to use the unit in an upstairs room. My antenna had to be located in the front of the home. I would highly recommend it if you have a similar problem.
