XM RECEPTION PROBLEMS???
I have an Alpine T020 XM Reciever Module hooked to an Alpine D-900 H.U. with
the antenna mounted in the rear facia like several other members have done.
My reception is very poor, it cuts in and out constantly and the display says "loss of signal".
Thought it might be a bad ground but changed grounding location with no improvement.
Is anybody else having this problem or might know of a fix?
:confused: :confused:

Jim,
This poor reception of which you speak should not be the case. There are occasions that the XM signal is briefly lost due to large trees, buildings, or mountains. But I hardly every get a "no signal" message unless it is pouring down rain.
