XM signal buffer getting worse over time
Guys, I have the factory 200W XM head unit in my '03 (not called Monsoon at that point, not sure what facory name was at that time).
The XM signal was near never cut off in the early days. Over time, the signal buffer (proper terminology?) has gotten steadily worse, and now even w/ leaves off the trees for winters, the signal cuts out at the least physical block- going under an overpass at 60 MPH, getting next to a semi truck- really bad.
If there are no overhead blockages, everything is fine, but this issue is really making enjoying XM a pain, esp in summer when the leaves are on the trees.
Any past reports of this and what might be the cause/fix? I am sure the few dealers left in my area would simply say get a new radio, when in fact it could be the antenna boot or something else.
Thanks in advance.
