                                         Repeaters

  Dear Mr. Burtle:

          XM Radio Inc. ("XM Radio"), one of the two Digital Audio Radio Service ("DARS")
  licensees in the United States, hereby files this Form 442 for an experimental license pursuant to
  Part 5 of the Commission‘s rules to conduct tests of terrestrial repeaters at four fixed locations in
  Ft. Lauderdale, FL in its licensed frequency band (2332.5—2345 MHz).

         XM Radio already holds an STA to conduct these tests. See File No. 0199—EX—ST—2000.
  This STA is set to expire on August 1, 2000. As required by Section 5.61(b) of the
  Commission‘s Rules, this request for an experimental license as well as a request for an
  extension of the STA have been filed today, prior to the expiration of the STA.

         XM Radio is authorized to operate its DARS system in the U.S. in the 2332.3—2345 MHz
  frequency band on an exclusive basis, and it believes that it can continue to conduct the testing
  without causing interference to any existing radio operators

          The required filing fee of $45.00 and FCC Form 159 are enclosed with this request.
  Please direct any questions regarding this matter to the undersigned.

                                                                    Sincerely,

                                                               f/ db A—       a
