My stilletto 10 portable radio from sirius won't even work in my tent. Are there any recommendations?

Question

Is there any kind of headset anttenna or good antenna that helps with the reception problems with the stilletto?

Answer 1

I have an INNO, which is the same as a Stilleto only for XM.  I have reception problems whenever I am in certain areas of the country (not near a fairly big city).  So if you are not in an area that has terrestrial repeaters you'd have a weak signal anyway.  That coupled with a canopy of trees (or a tent) would probably be why you can't pick up a signal.

I have a really hard time in Western NC when I'm visiting my family.  If my INNO is out of its docking cradle it just won't pick up - between the weak terrestrial signals and all the trees and hills I have to keep it in its cradle to get a reliable signal.  Just one of many reason I'm glad I live in a large city now.

Answer 2

If this is a serious Sirius question (and I always like to give the benefit of the doubt) it depends on where you are geographically located, how you've got your antenna arranged and what the tent is made of.

A serious Sirius question like this might be better answered by Sirius tech support at www.sirius.com.
