Yep. And the whole system cost 50 bucks, but just to buy a replacement
antenna costs 50 bucks. Really!!! One store could order an antenna,
for 50 bucks. On the internet, a couple weeks ago, I found that Best
Buy had the antenna for 50 bucks. But they also had the complete
system for.....50 bucks. I called to make sure the system for 50 bucks
included the antenna, and it did. So I bought it and put that system
in my car to replace the other system, which was identical.

Anyway, I know the radio part works fine, but I don't know anything
about satellite antennas, at least an antenna such as this. However,
if I can fix that antenna, I can hook it to my home stereo. So, before
doing destructive testing, does anyone know how to fix a Sirius
satellite antenna? It must be the cable part, but don't know how to
test it. And I checked to make sure it was the antenna, not the radio
receiver. Anyway, any suggestions?

You've replaced the whole system, and it still doesn't work? Or are you
just trying to avoid replacing the whole system?

What kind of antenna is it? There aren't many things that can go wrong
with an antenna - maybe it's the preamp or detector or something.

Good Luck!
