[Electronics-talk] Satellite Radios

[James Aldrich]

Hello!

You might try orienting your Sirius Antenna the same way you have your XM 
antenna!  Sirius put up a new satellite early last fall and I was able to 
get both Sirius and XM beautifully pointing south.  I don't have a Sirius 
receiver activated at this time, just XM.  My Delphi radios have served me 
very well!

Jim
