Sirius Radio for RVs Reception
All . . . . I am thinking of buying equipment for the SiriusXM system. What reception do you get with Sirius?? Do you have to have a truckers antenna to get good signals?? I am having mixed emotions...

We use XM vs Sirius. There is an after market radio and control box in the truck with its original magnetic puck. It has issues traveling ENE TO N when north of 38° or so especially in the northeast USA. I suspect our Titanium nose cap blocks it some.
In our Titanium we have a model XDPIV2 (upgrade from a Roady2) that is FM coupled to our Samsung home theater system. The newer XM units sport weaker FM transmitters than the earlier Roady units. A dedicated rabbit ears in the rear cap fixed that issue. It is supported by a Browning BR-TRUCKER Satellite Radio Trucker Mirror-Mount Antenna with Large Built-In Ground Plane mounted on an 8' painters pole. This is the best arrangement we've had to date.
I'm thinking of installing a Browning on the truck for our Alaska trip next summer so as to clear the Titanium. Aesthetics is holding up that idea with DW (mast sticking up from the truck). I may just get the Browning and wait for the no signal complaints from DW.
interesting information, but the OP is puzzled by steps A & B. you are discussing steps x,y,&z
