I have 2 of these (and 1 mobile dock that I use at my office location), one in my "computer" room and 1 in my garage connected to a boom box.
I have been able to place the antenna indoors & get good to great reception (depending on where the satelite is at the time) with no dead time. (this is toward the ceiling of the room, did not need to place in the attic or outside)
I only have the line out connected to either my computers sound system or the boombox in my garage (no reception on the Stiletto 2 alone in there). When connected via USB to transfer some of my music to the SL2, it can be VERY slow. (was the same with previous SL100)
Not sure if this applies to this dock & the SL2, but on my previous Stiletto 100 and home dock, doing a software update through the dock was hit or miss. Once thought it became corrupt (with tech supports help also!) but doing it again using the dirrect connect cable, all went well.
Also by being in the dock (as other have said) works for recording stuff to listen to later (IE: Dark Wave on Sunday nights from 22 & then listen to in the morning at work!)
As a FYI, if you need more the 21' to place your antenna, use the 50' extension. I use this at work so I can place the antenna way across the office to where I have line of sight to a terrestial repeater (else 0 reception where my cube is) & get a solid 2 bars!Get more detail about Sirius SLH2 Home Install Kit for the Stiletto 2 Portable Radio.
