I got one of these radios today! It's a little big but not that much bigger than a MyFi. Radio setup is pretty much the same as the Myfi, the lines scroll if they don't fit on the screen. Recording sessions are also the same way so you can read the whole session. I got tired of not being able to read things on the Inno. Plus I like pause live radio feature. It has 10 hours recording pretty much like the Myfi, no big deal there. It also used the micro SD cards so I can load up MP3s and bring them with me. Plugs into the computer the same way as the Inno does and shows up as a drive the same way as the Inno. I'm hoping the SkyFi3 doesn't have the same pad data problmes as the Inno, I'll find out in the morning I guess. If it does, I'll bring it back and keep the Inno. It has a big readable screen which is nice for when you are driving.
The SkyFi3 comes with the car kit and you have to buy the home kit which I did also.

I don't really need the color display as long as the pad data shows up better than the Inno.

SkyFi3 is going back to the store today, yes it has the same pad data problem on 202 as the Inno does.

I guess it's back to using the MyFi, it does what it's supposed to do very well.

Yes thats right. Half the segments show as commercial names through the whole segment and when they change the pad data during the show, it doesn't change on the SkYfi3 or Inno ONLY when you record the show. You can see it change and display correctly when you listen to the show live.
Makes no sense to me.

Is that the SkyFis fault or XMs?

It's the way they are sending the pad data for 202 only. It doesn't happen when you record music or any other channel so it's XMs fault. They gotta figure out a way to send it for these new radios.

They have to send me a check because I paid with cash. I hate that store and I forgot they did that if you returned something. It's a local electronics store and not BB OR CC.
