Overview

This antenna ensures that you get the best possible satellite radio reception for your Dock & Play radio or SiriusXM-ready home receiver. The indoor antennas included with those products can't always do the job out in the rain, sleet & snow.

KEEP READING

You can use the supplied bracket to mount this all-weather antenna on an exterior wall, your roof, or your boat's mast. The package comes with mounting hardware for the antenna and an adapter cable that hooks into your player's home dock. Then you can put the antenna anywhere within 150' of your radio using standard RG-6 indoor/outdoor cable.

Featured review

The instructions were clear and easy to follow. The reception not only improved the signal strength but the quality of the sound because the signal strength was so much better than I was able to get from an indoor antenna.

Customer Q&A

Does this antenna connect directly to your home unit, or does it pull in a stronger signal for your antenna that's already plugged into your SiriusXM radio?

Plugs into the unit, works great and pulls in the signal much better then the one that comes with the unit. I would buy it again.

Q&A

9 questions already asked

Is this antenna omnidirectional?

[ Bruce Aug 06, 2022 ]

1 answer

Greetings Bruce, and thank you for your question. Depending on how the antenna is mounted, it can have 360 degrees of coverage, as long as there is nothing blocking the view to the open sky. If that cannot be obtained at the very least you need a clear view of the southern sky. Full installation instructions are in the manual. That is also on our product page for that antenna.

What diameter pole/mast will the supplied u bolts fit ?

[ Todd Mar 29, 2022 ]

1 answer

The U-Bolt & Bracket, that is supplied, will accept a pole/mast that has a Maximum Outside Diameter of 2".

[ Francis Mar 30, 2022 ]

Can this antenna mount in the attic? Mother in law does not want to drill hole thru the house.

[ Randy Dec 08, 2021 ]

1 answer

I doubt that it would work in the attic. Drill the hole, it's not going to cause any problems.

[ lawrence Dec 08, 2021 ]

I was one of the lucky users that got a lifetime subscription early on. I'm now in a home and I want to buy a home theater receiver that will be able to take this antenna input. Can you recommend a receiver that will work?

[ Michael Oct 19, 2021 ]

1 answer

I love Marantz receivers (we have 2-11.2 and a 5.2 channel and both are tremendous in sound quality. Right now there are many to choose from on the home receiver listing. I don't think you'll have any problem finding one. Additionally, I have a Harmon Kardon AVR 635 receiver in my shop, 7.1 channel, that I have the Sirius XM Home and Car Kit hooked up to. It works fantastic with this antenna. Haven't had a single problem with reception. Good luck.

Replaces your antenna with more gain

[ RICHARD Sep 02, 2021 ]

This antenna is cabled directly into my home unit's cradle

[ Candus Sep 02, 2021 ]

Which direction should the antenna be aimed for XM reception in Florida?

[ rca1950 Jul 11, 2019 ]

2 answers

I live in NE Ohio, so my experience may not be directly applicable to your location. Because of trees on my property, I have only one roof space with a clear sky shot. My antenna is pointed in a generally SW direction. I simply moved the antenna around until I got a maximum reading on the radio. A little trial and error gave me a very good signal.

[ Terence Jul 19, 2019 ]

Sirius and XM Radios The satellites that transmit the XM signal are in a geostationary orbit over the equator. Aim your XM antenna due south. Make sure you position your antenna so you have a clear view of the sky.

[ Thomas Jul 19, 2019 ]

Does anyone know the gain on this antenna?

[ Eileen Oct 08, 2018 ]

1 answer

HI Eileen, We checked in with company that makes the antenna and with SiriusXM, but the gain is not a number that is published anywhere. If there is a specific installation or application situation here, let us know and we may be able to provide some further help.

[ Jeff Oct 22, 2018 ] Staff

Will the 50ft extension cable work with this antenna? Also does the 50 ft extension cable work with the 21ft cable that comes with the unit?

[ Ronald Apr 28, 2016 ]

3 answers

I've about 100 feet of cable with no notable problem. Recently I've had some moisture problems but I xpect a good cleaning and resealing the cable connector will resolve that problem. My antenna is on the north side of the house so it's in the shade most of the time. It's been in use for 2 years with limited maintenance, so some TLC is due. Good luck and good listening!!!!!

[ AL May 02, 2016 ]

Yes! I actually connected the cable that the antenna came with to a 50 FT cable. Reception was never better

[ ANTHONY F Apr 29, 2016 ]

Yes, it works great! No worries at all.

[ Terry Apr 29, 2016 ]

Does snow and ice accumulate on this antenna and block the reception?

[ KenKutz Feb 18, 2015 ]

7 answers

Hi Ken, We have installed 8 to 10 of these and have not heard of any issues. Keep in mind that we are carful to install them in an area of best signal possible. FYI I am in the Maine and NH area.

[ ROBERT Mar 04, 2015 ]

I am 20 miles from Boston and we have lots of snow, I have not lost the signal once. Works great.

[ LLOYD Feb 19, 2015 ]

The unit is on the south facing side of my home. It's been thru two fairly nasty winters without a problem. Reception is always great.

[ CHARLES Feb 19, 2015 ]

Yes sometimes it does, however I do live in a high snowfall area (north of Chicago) rather than a lot of ice. P Gray

[ Peggy Feb 19, 2015 ]

Yes, snow/ice will lay on the antenna, but does not affect the signal, at least it does not for me. In fact the position of the satellite in orbit and cloud cover seem to effect the signal strength more. From time to time i may have to tweak the position of it slightly to get better reception, so it may not be a set-and-forget placement. And when i say it accumulates, i am not talking it being in the kind of snow depth Boston has had this winter.

[ ROBERT L Feb 19, 2015 ]

Hello K: I appreciate your question. Unfortunately I can't help with an answer for two reasons; 1.) I have not installed it outside. 2.) Believe it or not it's still in the box. My plan however was to install it in the attic as the directions indicate can be successfully done. I purchased this just prior to doing some major home remodeling and have simply not implemented this piece of equipment as yet. Sounds dumb, but that's the fact. I hope it will work as advertised when I am ready to install it. Hopefully someone else will be able to give you an answer.

[ DAVID J Feb 19, 2015 ]

I live in Georgia, and don't get much snow and ice ...
