I don't know what the problems is, I travel all over with my Stiletto and love it. It is not some magic box and you need to be aware that it IS a satellite receiver and thus must have a line of sight to the sky and the satellite. If you are intending to use it as a portable receiver while working in the yard, it is recommended to wear the headband headset instead of the enclosed earbuds. If you are using it in the car, purchase a vehicle dock at any of the bigbox electronics stores for under 70 USD. This comes with an external antenna that will boost reception greatly. The Stiletto is a great music device when to it's fullest.

Understand your complaints. I live in a major city (Portland, OR), but if I travel anywhere into the suburbs reception wanes. Fortunately, I live right downtown and signal is good.

Rec'd this as a gift for Christmas so that we could listen to GOOD radio @ home (+ Howard) and/or while @ work. We live in a small (250,000+) city (with bad - hick - radio stations) in the middle of nowhere (wheat fields as far as the eye can see....), at the top of a LARGE hill, in a 4-story, 106-yr-old house, with your basic 25' oak and maple trees set evenly apart between the sidewalk & the street (pretty much Mayberry-esque) on the outskirts of the property. This thing doesn't get %*$%$ for reception. We've tried every floor of the house, and it's a no-go. I think I have a better chance at a close encounter (of the 3rd kind) than getting any reception. Right now, it's still "Acquiring Signal"... which is what it displays, literally, 80% of the time - when it's not cutting in & out. The instructions tell you to put it outside (?????????) - WHAT??? Huck it into the snow - OK!!! The gift-giver got ripped off to the tune of $350+. How awful. Literally makes me sick. We are stuck with it - no receipt - anyone want to buy on the cheap? You'd better live in Kansas or Montana, and have NO vegetation within 300 miles of your house. On the plus-side, when it DOES work, the sound is WONDERFUL.
