FIND THE RIGHT FREQUENCY
"It makes a world of difference"
If you are using FM Frequencies to send the XM signal from your XM Radio to a home or car stereo (thru the FM Modulator), you need to determine the best frequency to transmit the signal. Not using the best signal for your area will result in sub par performance.
Go to www.radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/vacant to find unused FM frequencies in your area.
XM radios work best if you choose an unused frequency on the FM dial. It's also best not to pick a frequency that's too close to a strong FM station. Goto the web site above and find vacant frequencies in your area that are best suited for use with your audio device. You will love the way it sounds.
