Will the WxWorx receiver also give me XM Satellite Radio's audio programming?

The WxWorx receiver can receive both the XM WX Satellite Weather and XM Satellite Radio XM signals (separate subscriptions required). An audio output jack allows you to patch the audio through to a powered stereo system. If you have both an XM WX weather data XM WX package and XM radio subscription, XM will give you a $3.00/mo. discount on your radio subscription if activated under the same account. You can use the one XM antenna that is provided with your receiver kit to provide a signal to your XM radio receiver. Separate software is required to control audio of WxWorx receiver.
