SiriusXM installation

This may be old info but the satellites are positioned for service in the U.S. and Canada. I installed one for the owner of the condos that I used to stay in close to 20 years ago. I installed one for his condo and it was hard to find a spot on the first floor I could put the antenna to get any reception. The signal was very low in the sky, I would believe that you would loose your signal often while driving. Also you would have to pay Trump an import tax and help build a wall.

I might have to rethink this and at least test it.

I drove to Zihuatanejo in 2000 and 2001 with a Sirius radio in my truck. I drove it around the Zihuatanejo area for years and it worked well. I had a stationary Sirius radio in Troncones that worked well for years. The antenna was oriented north to catch the figure-eight orbit of the satellites that crossed at about Winnipeg.

But I see now that with the Sirius-XM merger the Sirius satellites have been decommissioned and only the XM geosynchronous satellites remain giving less signal coverage further south. It looks like PV would have signal. I’ll see about Zihuatanejo.
