No. The satellites used to distribute Sirius/XM "satellite" radio operate on frequencies
assigned to Sirius/XM "satellite" radio. They don't operate on frequencies allocated
to the GPS system.

Why does GPS work in a tunnel but satellite radio doesn't?
Many GPS units will show your position based on the path you were following when the signal was lost. If you were to go into a tunnel with your GPS unit off and turn it on while in the tunnel it wouldn't show your position.
How do you convert the factory radio to get Sirius?
You cannot convert a standard radio to receive the satellite radio signal. You will have to purchase a Sirius satellite receiver.
How is radio altitude determined by in aircraft?
There are two ways to do it, first and the most accurate is by satellite GPS, the GPS receiver have to log on to 3 or more satellites and it can determine the precise coordinates and even the speed it is flying, the other one is by sending a signal out and wait for the bounced signal and measure the time from sending to receiving the signal but that will only give the height above ground level and not above sea level
Does Sirius radio work anywhere in the US?
Yes Sirius radio works wherever satellite signal reaches.
What can I do to fix this everytime I key up my CB radio it causes my GPS receiver to lose signal and I have to unplug it and plug it in again to get signal back GPS is outside opposite of antennae?
There is no way to solve the problem. Because of the high power of the CB transmitter and the low power of the satellite signals, the CB signal clips the GPS receiver, and it can even damage your GPS. The CB and the GPS unit work on entirely different frequencies, to be sure, but the fact that a several watt transmitter of any kind is right on top of a GPS unit can hammer the GPS. There is no way to "limit" the radiated power of the CB (if you still want it to work) so that it won't affect the GPS.
What kind of signal is used in a GPS satellite?
radio waves
What is the speed of a satellite signal?
A satellite signal will be a radio signal. And a radio signal in space travels at the speed of light.
Does aluminum block a GPS signal?
GPS is a radio signal. Metals block radio signals. Aluminum is a metal.
How does aluminum block a gps signal?
GPS is a radio signal. Metals block radio signals. Aluminum is a metal.
How does a GPS receiver calculate its distance from a satellite?
Very easily. The GPS receiver measures how long it takes a certain radio signal to travel from the GPS satellite(s) to itself, and from that, the receiver calculates the distance. It can do that because it knows precisely how fast the radio signal travels.If you have signals from at least 3 satellites, the process of trilateration (not triangulation) pinpoints the location where the 3 distances 'cross' each other. If you have 4 satellites 'locked in', then you will find out your altitude, too. (The process is not quite this simple, but to go on would be confusing.)The hard part is measuring the precise time it takes for a certain radio signal to travel from the GPS satellite to your GPS receiver. Well, hard if you do it, but very easy when the GPS receiver does it!First, each GPS satellite carries an on-board atomic clock. This clock is outrageously accurate, but even so, ground stations connected to the US Navy atomic clock system keep each satellite precisely at the correct time. Your GPS receiver has an on-board high-precision clock of its own.Second, when your GPS receiver first makes contact with the constellation of GPS satellites, it is sent an 'almanac' that lists where each satellite is, what it's precise time is, and other goodies. After reading the almanac, the GPS receiver sets itself to the precisely same time as the satellite constellation.Thirdly, when the GPS receiver gets a signal from the satellites, there is information in it that says precisely at what time the radio signal left each satellite, which is identical for all the satellites. Then your GPS receiver 'looks at its watch' and subtracts the 'sent' time from the 'received' time. The data in the almanac are updated by the satellite constellation every few hours so that your GPS receiver will always know where the satellites are and what their precise time is.Go back to the beginning and reread what your GPS receiver can do once it knows the precise travel time of the radio signal.
How do you stop a satellite signal in a temple?
Microwave Radio Frequencies (RF) does not travel through dense metals. A metal roof would block the signal. If you try to get your position on a GPS inside the temple and cannot, then the satellite signals are blocked.
How does gps tracking of a car work?
When a GPS system is placed in a vehicle it provides information on the exact location by radio-navigation system by 24 satellites and their ground stations. A microwave signal is transmitted from satellite to the GPS device.
What does a gps satelite do?
A GPS satellite emits a very precise and accurate time signal that the receiver can use to calculate it's distance from the satellite.
Why does GPS work in a tunnel but satellite radio doesn't?
Many GPS units will show your position based on the path you were following when the signal was lost. If you were to go into a tunnel with your GPS unit off and turn it on while in the tunnel it wouldn't show your position.
Why does satellite radio fade out?
The satellite signal can be blocked by various things.
Whats the difference between satellite radio and satellite tuner?
The radio is what receives the signal. The tuner is what changes the channels.
What type of electromagnetic wave is used for satellite communication?
Communications satellites are nothing but radio transmitter/receivers ('transceivers'). Whether it's a direct-to-home TV satellite, an orbiting satellite carrying amateur radio (OSCAR), or a Hubble Space Telescope, people on the ground transmit radio to it, and the satellite either repeats the same information back down to other people, or performs some operations of its own and then reports its results by radio to the people down below waiting for the report.
