Sirius radio has static on the station?

Question

Sirius radio has static on the station?

Answer 1

Try 87.9 if you can, it's completely open unless you live very close to a TV station on Channel 6. You can't drive hundreds of miles without getting interference on any channel, but 87.9 works best. www.radio-locator.com has a tool that shows you which frequencies are clear.

The best thing to do is tune up the dial till you find a frequency that is completely static (and preferable the stations 0.2 Mhz away also static), and use that.

Answer 2

Try different frequencies, some work better than others and some are to close to local stations which will give you interference.

Answer 3

so wait a minute!

these things operate about as well as Ipod car hook ups? I end up having to change the little dial on my Ipod car hookup every 10 miles, and it sounds like Sirius stuff is the same.

weak stuff!

a buddy of mine's dad has XM in his car and it doesn't need that stuff.

Answer 4

I had this problem and took off my regular car antennae.  Don't worry after having Sirius for a while you will never want to listen to regular radio again.  So you will not need the antennae.

Answer 5

It's not the Sirius radio -- it's the station you've got tuned on your CAR's radio. Find one with no interference. I use 88.1 (I think that's it). There are different frequencies listed in the user's manual of the Sirius radio. Try another one until you find a "clear" channel.

You can also find them listed somewhere on the Sirius radio's menu display.
