Is there anyway to see how the reception or the bit error rate is for the XM radio?

 

Interesting, I never thought of this.

Are you still bothered by that weak reception in SI areas?

 

I'm still bothered by the weak reception in some areas of SI. It's in a different area now though. I called XM 2 times. First time they didn't even ask me for my account information and just told me that there was no problems. Second time they asked me for my account information. They told me that NJ has a few repeaters down.
I get great reception when I drive to manhattan and when i'm in manhattan.
