Digital camera reviews of SIRIUS SV3-TK1 Stratus Plug-and-Play Satellite Radio Receiver with Car Kit
Digital camera Review: Great for what it is
Summary: 5 Stars
I used the Stratus for about half a year before giving it to my dad and upgrading myself to a Sportster 5.
I will be writing this review based on the product itself, not Sirius customer service.
The Stratus is a good entry-level radio. I bought it on sale for a fair price, and was very happy with how it performed. The display is bright and easy to read. The screen back light is pretty bright even on the lowest setting; good if you're using it in the car but bad if you are using it in a dark bedroom.
The buttons are a little mushy compared to my Sportster, which has a nice crisp 'click' with each push. This won't bother most people, just something I felt worth mentioning.
The unit's size is also impressive. It is very small and slick, which makes it easy to slip into a pocket or glove box. I cannot tell you how many stories I have heard from people who have had radios (and other electronics for that matter) stolen from their parked cars. Remember, stow it don't show it!
All in all, the Stratus is a great entry level radio. It is easy to use and the screen is easy to read. I only used the built in FM transmitter a few times, and it is unimpressive. If your vehicle does not have a line-in jack on the front, or a cassette player, you should seriously consider having an FM Direct adapter installed. The procedure requires the removal of your radio head unit, but once you do the install (or have a pro do it if you're not comfortable with removing the radio) you will be rewarded with static and interference free radio. My only minor gripe are the somewhat soft buttons, but as I stated most people will not be bothered by it.
