Sirius antenna.
Would reception be better if the Sirius antenna was mounted to a large metal surface.I have the new smaller antenna on the dash where the defroster vent is.The reception is pretty good but cuts out when driving under trees. I used to have the older larger antenna mounted under the hood near the hood hinge on the metal frame of the car and reception was good.I was wondering if the metal frame of the car helps reception if the antenna is mounted to it?
