Tom, I'll start another post for "What do you like to do with your Teardrop?"

Tom, Your SkiFi2 reciever will work in the original boom box, or in any adapter that the original SkiFi unit works in. It would be interesting to see if the buzzing is coming from the SkiFi2 . I don't have any noticable noise (except for the music my son listens to) coming from the old boom box with the SkiFi2
The clicking sound you are hearing is called "tractoring" and is a known problem with the skyfi2/boom box set up. Some usersalso hear a high-pitched whine at low volumes as well. I went through 2 skyfi units and 4 boom boxes trying to get this resolved...finally took it to a friend who is an electrical engineer and he figured it out.
XM knows about this problem but refuses to do anything about it. Between these problems and the incredibly bad controls, I think the boom box is a real piece of junk.
