1. Radio reception in my area is less than ideal. Will I experience the same problem with
the Sirius satellite signal?
Any kind of reception, be it radio, TV, or satellite, has its own challenges and all require
experimentation. There are no guarantees, but chances are you will receive the Sirius
signal thanks to their three orbiting satellites and multitude of ground repeaters. And the
Sirius antenna (included with the Model Satellite) is weather proof for outdoor mounting
(if desired) which further improves reception. In general, the Sirius antenna must have an
unobstructed view to the sky and be pointed towards Chicago where the signal
is strongest.
