Audiovox XpressReuters is reporting that Audiovox is suspending shipments of the Xpress Model XMCK10 XM Satellite Radio plug-and-play receiver after the U.S. Federal Communications Commission said the unit did not comply with either operating bandwidth or related emission specifications.

Audiovox has said it is conducting an internal review and that shipments would be suspended until it is determined that it operates within FCC specifications.

I have a feeling that there are alot of over-compensating reactions within XM and friends over these FCC inquiries of FM-modulator issues. Understandably so (don't want to mess with the FCC). Let's see how this plays out.
