Can I use this in a stadium? Does it have a built in battery and headphone/speaker connection? I can hold the antenna in my hand.

no you can not. there is no headphone connection or internal power supply. you need a 12 volt power source and an fm radio.

No it needs to be plugged into a Sirius boom box or with the home kit to a stereo

No theres no battery go with the one they call the stiletto that one is portable where you can take it with you

This is not a radio that you can carry around. You need a 12 volt power source. You would be better off connecting through your phone if you need Sirius in a stadium.

No... None of the above! The only way that this could be used in a stadium is if it's connected to a Sirius boom box. These receivers will only work when connected to a home kit, a car kit or a boom box. They do not work alone. The only input for a antenna would be attached to a boom box. I hope this helps!

No. This is NOT a portable device. It's designed to be installed in a car, running off the car's electrical system. If you had a portable 12v battery and headphones, you could use it independent of a car.

Having installed it (at home) and connected it to use (fine) - I have to admit that I encountered no battery box or literature that suggested it was anything but a passive antenna. Please double check this, with the company!(am an EE with a lot of radio exp. from DC to daylight ... but saw nothing that suggested it was an active antenna).

There is no battery. They do make a boombox attachment for this status 6 (Sirius SXABB1 Dual Mode Speaker Dock Boombox) and it has a headphone jack. I have one. It works great. But it is large (boombox size).

The cord for the earphones acts as the antenna. I learned that from experience. You leave it plugged in even when you have it on so everyone cab hear it.

The unit comes with an external antenna(a wire lead in the rear). There are also jack ports for aux in, line out, and headphones.

A word to the wise....stay away from this radio. Doesn't matter what type of battery you use, it still sucks. The strongest power source available would be its internal power supply cord and there's no difference in reception between the batteries and the cord. It's a horrible radio and I hope you steer clear. Mick

Would it work if you plugged in a set of headphones to act as the antenna and still used the bluetooth for sound? Or would plugging in the headphones disable the sound in the bluetooth device?

It comes with an antenna cord that plugs into the headphone jack and then you can switch on the radios speaker to listen. No FM radio will work to its full potential without an antenna. I love the radio. It has good reception (and I know the difference) and its got a nice layout so it's not hard to get used to. The weather band receives very well here on Cape Cod also.

The antenna doesn't plug into the radio. It plugs into the Home Base or the Car base and the bases require power. It does have it's own battery but then it has to "connect" via wifi and you need a internet subscription to use it like a stand alone radio. I love the radio for my car and office but i use my phone when wanting to listen on the go. If you get the internet subscription, it works on your phone via the smartphone app.

If you are close to an airport you shouldn't have any problem. Are you up in the air or on the ground? I am assuming the battery is fully charged! Make there is nothing wrong with the antenna.

You can plug in headphones but it has to have the antenna hooked up and it is not battery powered so not very portable.

You may be able to find an arm band that will hold this radio but it is a little bigger than your typical arm band radio and you may not be satisfied. If you intend to use it at the gym, you would probably be better off buying an arm band radio - Sony, Coby or something similar. You may have to decide between performance and size.

Hi,When not using the headphones, they supply an external antennea. The reception has been good.

Yes you can plug it in like a normal radio. I try to only plug in when it needs charging as I don't want to ruin the battery by leaving it plugged all the time. The item only comes with a USB wire that fits into the speaker so you will need the power part. I use the extras I have from my cell phones.

Yes, If I recall correctly it has an antenna input that looks like a headphone jack, and comes with the necessary adaptor. The problem was that the reception is really, really bad. Oh, and if you use the aux (AV) inputs there's no way to control the volume. Cheers! The funny thing though, is if you can get channels with the antenna, the screen looks really sharp because it's very small hehe.

Yes. you can use it, minus the antenna, however I strongly recommend you use the attachedantenna, for better frequency and performance.
