I shared this message with members of my support group and I was asked by one member if it would be able to read the singal information coming into it from an outside source, like his XM or Sirius satellite radio receiver. I know you're not the manufacturer, but thought you may be in contact with a source closer to the manufacturer than I am. Any information on this would be appreciated and I'm sure by more than just this one person.
