Does Your Satellite Radio Drop Out Frequently?

[dk63]

I have an '08 IS250 with the factory installed Sirius radio and I'm have trouble with dropping the signal too frequently. I understand that the signal will be lost when going thru tunnels and such, but my signal drops whenever I go under a freeway underpass or a large tree. I had the antenna replaced after only a month or so because the problem was constant, even out in the open. Now I still have the problem but not out in the open. In my old Nissan I had a Sirius Sportster radio in it and that unit had a memory buffer to prevent such signal drops. Apparently this unit does not have that feature. Anyone else have this problem?

I don't have Sirius in my Lexus, however I have a cuz w/XM. His radio used to drop out so frequently. That is until XM put up more sat. towers in the urban area, now it rarely cuts out. Maybe it's where you live & how few sat. towers are around

FWIW, have factory sat. radio in my Subaru. Rarely if ever drops out...XM.

Its probably that your area doesn't have a lot of terrestrial repeaters. I have Sirius too and mine seems to drop out more on rainy days and in the evenings...no idea why. But the repeaters here are pretty good.
