Help answer this question below.

How can I boost my satellite radio reception? Everytime a trucker with a powerful CB antenna passes me on the highway, I lose my reception and get their station, despite having a Sirius truck antenna. Will a powerful CB antenna on my truck prevent this?

    The answer might not be in the reception. If you are using a modulated type connection to feed the sound into your existing stereo this could be the problem. A lot of satellite radios use a wireless modulators to feed on a selected frequency back to the stereo the sound. This is easily interrupted back RF from other sources (like CB Radio). To eliminate this problem, try using a more direct hook-up, like direct connect. This plug directly into the back of the existing stereo. This will help to reduce the bleed from other rf signals. Or yet a better way is to use a radio or stereo that has a built in Satellite Radio, like the Delphi XM or Sirius Unit. We have solved several problems related to truckers with these radios. Big Rig Stereo sells these. The XM version is on sell for 225.99.
