[QUOTE="Chess Tramp, post: 4975058, member: 600882"] Hi All, My problem is that my Sirius reception has been cutting in and out for several weeks now. I lose reception for 1-3 seconds, and then the song comes back. It is hard to diagnose - I can drive for hours and have no problems. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif[/IMG] But the next trip, it will start cutting out every 45 seconds or so. Sometimes more frequenty, which is incredibly annoying. I can be at a stop light with no obsticals or clouds overhead, and it will suddenly cut out. All my other music sources work fine. (Thankfully!) I have one of those SIR-KEN boxes that I bought a couple years ago off of eBay, which is hidden and connects to my head unit. My hunch is that the Antenna isn't working as well as it used to. (Seems solid-state to me, so I don't know if they can "fatigue" over time.) If I have to replace the Antenna it will be such a pain, because its threaded under carpets, under seat, behind panels, etc. to position it above the back end of my double cab. >> Anyone have the same experience, or have suggestions? >> If I do have to replace my antenna, are there newer models that will still be compatable with my SIR-KEN receiver?
