The wife bought a Serius radio last Winter and over time I've had to keep moving the antenna around to maintain reception. There are no ground repeaters so I get the signal direct from the satellite. You'd think that with the snow off the roof now it would be improving but it is at its worst now. The wife wanted me to come home yesterday at lunch to tweak it. Antenna is indoors pointing in the same general direction as my Sat TV dish. I moved it about 8 feet to the South wall on top of the kitchen cabinet uppers and the signal now jumps between 3 and 6 bars with no more drops but I don't understand why the sudden reduction in signal. No leaves on the trees yet so the only change is air temperature.
I don't know if the Sirius Echo Home Wireless Signal Repeater System is the way to go or not. The wife hates wires and I'm not about to start drilling holes to hide wires with the hopes the signal doesn't just drop off again as Summer progresses.
She bought the boom box with the intent of taking it wherever she wanted to listen to it but the antenna won't work with it mounted directly on it where she wants it to be most of the time. I needed to snake the antenna wire around, hiding it behind window and door casings. From what I see of the Echo system, it has a transmitter that you place wherever you get good recption and a receiver that connects to the boom box. Anyone know if the receiver fits into the slot on the boom box where the satellite antenna fits?
