Conflicting stories on FCC/Sirius hardware issues
June 27, 2006
Orbitcast posted that Sirius has pulled certain radios from it's online store, however, these models are still being sold through various retail outlets including Crutchfield and tss-radio. In a recent analyst presentation, David Frear fielded a question from an attendee,
reiterating that Sirius had cleared up all it's FCC hardware/manufacturing issues and units are in full compliance.

A couple days ago a loyal reader noticed that all Sirius plug-and-play units were being listed as "out of stock" on Sirius' online store. Not sure if this was a glitch or a restocking issue, I held back from jumping to any conclusions. Yesterday,
GSI had gotten word that Sirius units were actually pulled because the radios are getting a retool over FCC transmitter issues. Following a possible FCC inquiry, Sirius will most likely be shipping receivers with weaker FM transmitters in the near future"
The issue at hand is that Sirius has maintained that they addressed the issues and resumed manufacture of FCC compliant hardware. From all indications this is the case. Further, Sirius has maintained all guidance. A few calls to Sirius' on lne store have been answered that radios will be available within a week or so. Given this information, coupled with the widely available existing inventory it would appear that any impact would be minimal in nature.
