I believe the current date for the sirius
switch is April '07.
concerning the marine antenna, just to repeat, it
is not advertised to work after the Sirius switch over.
for those interested anyway, the deal is you have
to go to a dealer and ask him to order the "wsi marine antenna".
List Price is $300.
I would suggest you give the dealer Cory's number
which is 978 983 6684
(Bruce Cady is supposed to be the retail rep but I
have not ever got a return call from Bruce).
I will be putting an order in Tuesday and may be
able to get a small DISCOUNT for a group order if
you want to order through me.
If you are prepared to send me a firm order, let me
know.

I talked with WSI this morning and was told by
Cory that existing customers will have their hardware replaced at no
charge. This will include a new antennae. They will start taking
orders at the end of July beginning of Aug. I was told the new antennae
will look like the aviation antennae that came with the unit. I ask
about grounding issues but was referred to engineering. So if you are
thinking about changing antennas or location you might want to hold off for a
bit. The new system will not be up until the end of the year.
I was also told that WSI is evaluating their
pricing. As Colyn suggested, I gave them my input and it probably would
hurt for other user to do the same.
