No, you can not use any satellite radio to connect to Sirius. The hardware for each (XM or Sirius) is designed specifically for one or the other. For Sirius, there is a code on the back of the radio that they need to activate the service. It is specific only to Sirius equipment.

Can a xm satellite radio antenna be used for a cell phone antenna?

An XM satellite radio antenna cannot be used as a cell phone antenna as they use a different type of connection. Satellite signals operate on a different frequency from cell phones and use different technologies in their antennas as well.


Can you replace an XM radio antenna with any other antenna like a 3ft hard cb antenna?

You can replace an XM radio antenna with a CB antenna, a ham 40-meter mobile antenna, a cellphone antenna, a GPS antenna, a TV antenna, a wire coat hanger, a 6 GHz microwave antenna, or a chain of paperclips. However, since none of them is optimized to operate at the frequencies of XM radio, like the XM antenna is, none of the others will work as well. Most of them will likely be so inefficient at the satellite radio frequencies that when you use one of those, you hear nothing at all on your radio.

Does satellite radio work in inclement weather?

People who use satellite dishes for television reception are more apt to lose reception during inclement weather than someone who has a satellite radio. The difference is the dish and antenna. The dish is pointed in just one direction, while the antenna is omnidirectional. Because of this, those with satellite radios can still enjoy reception during inclement weather.

Can you take your truck satellite radio and take it with us in the boat and use it?

Yes, you can use your truck satellite radio on your boat as long as you provide proper power and relocate the antenna, and as long as your boat stays in the footprint of the transmitting satellite. I only add that last part because a boat is a general term and could mean an ocean going vessel in which you could leave the foot print of the satellite radio service.


Why in satellite communication power at radio station is higher than at satellite?

Because of economics. On the ground you an afford to use a big transmitter and a big antenna, while on the satellite both have to be smaller. Therefore most of the power and the gain happens at the ground station.
