Detailed information

The Sportscaster is a portable XM radio. It's not limited to sports channels, but it's called the Sportscaster probably because it's small and sporty. It's about 4.5 inches wide, less than 2 inches high and 0.75 inches deep. Comes with a Car Kit (antenna, cigarette lighter adapter and remote control). There's also a Home Kit for it.Netcast
