Belkin F5X003 Home Antenna for XM Review

This Belkin XM home antenna provides about the same signal gain as the original Delphi home antenna, but it is only about 2/3 the size and weight, making it an attractive option for travel.The actual metal plug configuration is, or would be, compatibile with all my various XMSR configuations here.Here comes the "but:"

In typical corporate bonehead style, Belkin has chosen a 90-degree plug for its antenna, whereas the original Delphi home antenna uses a straight plug.Why would they do that?My Delphi XM2go home dock has plenty of room for the right-angle plug, so maybe that's as far as they looked, it fits in there in a sorta snazzy-looking way.It also fits my Delphi SkyFi home dock, although barely (for the same reason), as well as my Altec Lansing inMotion iMX2 mobile speaker system for the XM2go.However, it does *not* fit into my Delphi portable boom box for the Delphi SkyFi; that unit has a cylindrical black collar that extends well above the actual jack, and although the actual plug is surely compatible, the Belkin F5X003's 90-degree plug housing will not extend far enough into the collar to reach the jack.Real dumb.Otherwise, I'd probably have given it four or maybe five stars.
