Antenna, Radio: Description and Operation
ANTENNA-SATELLITE RADIOThe satellite radio antenna is secured by a threaded fastener and two retainers which protrude through a hole in the roof panel. Two antenna cables from the antenna are connected to the satellite receiver.
The satellite radio antenna receives signals from orbiting satellites and sends these signals to the satellite receiver module. The satellite radio antenna must have open space in which to operate. Items carried on the roof, parking inside etc. can have an effect on the antenna's ability to receive signals.
