[QUOTE="BigOgre, post: 1403544, member: 8712"] Don, for years I ran with a SkyFi docked into a car mount which had a Ram ball attached. Between the ball and mount I had a bracket which held a flat-mounted mcy specific XM antenna which gave almost perfect reception compared to the regular square car antenna. Had it all mounted on my clutch [S]reservoir[/S] side Ram ball and then protected by a XM-specific clear elastic cover which not only kept it somewhat dry but also held it securely in place. Last I looked you can find used SkyFi's on Ebay fairly cheap (found that out after my first one went bouncing down Rte 17). A quick look at the antenna shows the price went up a bit from what I remember. I was nicely content with the set-up and only changed after going with a Garmin 590 and the XM app. Not my pics but you'll get the idea.
