Subject:Sirius radio in Westy report
From:Frank Condelli
Date:Fri, 23 Apr 2004 07:19:48 EDT

Trip to Everybus first trip with Westy equipped  with Sirius radio.  There
are some problems...wouldn't you know it.   The antenna placed under the luggage
rack full of gear does not work !   "Searching for Signal"  was on the screen
more times than not....PITA  number one !  I WILL find another location !  FM
transmission of  signal to the main radio no good when
travelling.....frequency chosen becomes  used by other broadcasters and needs to be changed
frequently....PITA number  two. To do it while driving in traffic is a real
experience.......try  it and you'll see what I mean.  Hard wire to the radio is the only
 option.  So....I WILL be ordering the hard wire kit !  Just a report  of
info that may help others !
