After we finished our January issue we noticed a
number of missing companies and products that we
saw and found interesting. When you try to report on
a show the size of the Consumer Electronics Show,
it’s only to be expected.
XACT Communications
One of the companies we visited was XACT Commu-
nications. They justifiably well known for their fabu-
lous wrist walkie-talkies, almost ex-
actly like the ones Dick Tracy wore
(for those of you old enough to re-
member Dick Tracy!). They still
make the WristLinx line and are
introducing a new model, the
X44X, this year with a 5 mile
range. The older X3X/X33X was
limited to a 1.5 mile range but
they were still extremely useful and
reliable.
The hottest new products we saw were their satellite
radio units. The XTR1 SIRIUS Satellite Plug and Play
Receiver is a Palm Sized Portable SIRIUS Satellite
Tuner.
The Satellite Radio Features:
• 120 Channels of Satellite Radio
• 65 100% Commercial-Free Music Channels
• Search Music by: Artist name, Song title or Cate-
gory
• Illuminated Keypad and Control Buttons
• Backlit Display
• 18 Channel Preset Capability
• Parental Control
• Satellite Updated Real-Time Clock
• Stereo, Line Level Audio Outputs
• Stereo Headphone Jack with Volume Control
• Built In Wireless FM Trans-
mitter
• Wireless IR Remote Con-
trol
A “must-have” accessory is
the XS024 Sirius Satellite
Radio Portable Boom Box. It
allows you to use the XTR1
like a boom box when you’re
not in your car. Very cool.
