But, hey....shouldn't you be doing something better with your time than listening to some country tunes or news while airborne? Does not sound like a very good idea.

I agree with Safteycheck...you should be doing something better with your time on those long legs.....like catching up on your reading, making sure the Captain gets his/her nap, maintaining your investments or networking with the other members of the flight crew....

Seriously, if everything is under control, a few tunes can't do any harm...

Has anyone tried Sony's new portable XM radio receiver while flying? It should theoretically work right?

I am talking about the one that looks sort of like a radar detector and you can take it in the car, hook it up to your home stereo, etc.

Now if that worked, flying long haul would be a ton of fun. Crystal clear, 100 radio stations. =) Well worth the $10 monthly fee.

Vik,

If they do work I might actually have a reason to buy one of those.

Come on we need someone that is wiling to try it.

I had an old fossil of a captain once who woke up and told me to quit reading.....

I don't see why the XM wouldn't work. It works via satellites so it should work. I hope someone here can report on it. Those portable Sony devices have been selling out at the Frys Electronics here in SoCal.

I knew a guy who bought a portable DVD player so he could watch movies while in cruise.

PS Engineering has a unit called "The Muse". It goes inline of your headphone jack and allows you to pipe anything in via an 1/8" jack. It'll even soft mute for radio calls. I just bring my CD collection and...er......um...well...I just heard that it works great.

the muse works pretty well.... but here is a better (cheaper) trick.

go down to your local avioncs shop with a 6-10ft mini stereo cord (male ends on both sides), have them cut one of the plugs off and install a mic plug instead.
....plug one end into cd/mp3/dvd player, and the other into the observer mic jack, and viola! it only costs a couple of bucks and both you and the captain can enjoy tunes. a side benefit is that you can pump it out over the p.a. for boarding. did i mention i love german speed metal? -sr.
