My Sanyo CRSR-10 boombox died recently so I needed to pick up another one. Bought the Starmate 5 along with the SUBX2 boombox.
Major issues:
> The antenna did not work. It was not a reception issue. It did not work. The display on the tuner said "No antenna". I am using the antenna that came with the Sanyo. They look identical from the outside.
> I am getting a hissing sound from the boombox. It is faint but definitely clearly audible from 5 feet way. A lot of times I will listen to Sirius at night before falling asleep when there is dead silence, so it is an issue. I am wondering if it is the tuner or the boombox causing this. When I turn off the Stratus 5 tuner (but leave the boombox power on), I can still still hear the hissing for about 30 seconds. Then it goes away. I am not sure if that makes it conclusive whether the hissing is coming from the boombox or tuner. It might be some feedback coming from the tuner.
I called Sirius, and they told me it was a reception issue. I don't believe much that they tell me. I thought either you hear the signal or not, there is no in between. That is my undestanding. Is it possible to get hissing or static (which I don't have) from a Sirius tuner?
> I wonder if I were to get a working antenna that comes with the boombox, the issue would with the hissing would go away. Maybe the antennas are not completely compatable.
> Has anyone head anything good about the "SIRIUS Soloist"
