considered thoughts to the readers of rec.boats:
I missed most of this thread, but will offer the following experience with
Sirius:
I bought a mobile unit for our vehicle back when we were doing the Florida
thing during the winter. I ended up hooking it up to the music system in
the pool cabaņa at our house here (using a DC power supply) where the
antenna is now stationary. Works fine for our occasional summer pool
parties, but I noticed that the signal drops out everyday at the same time
for about a half hour in the late afternoon and then recovers. I suspect
it's due to a poor combination of the locations of the Sirius satellites
that repeats everyday.
I've noticed that both XM and Sirius will lose the signal in some open
areas. It appears that some sort of EMF causes it.... usually from
overhead wires that I suspect carry data....
