Im wondering what you guys are using for XM antennas (for the Cab radio).
im only considering mirror mounts (dont want to drill the body).

ive tried the small magnetic pucks (sitting it on the dash) and get far too much signal loss / drop off.

I recently bought an XM4-MM (30 inches tall) w/ the idea that i wanted to get the antenna as high as possible (to prevent blocking by the cab over bed).

the vendor shipped me the standard XM4 (10 inches tall)....is anyone successfully using the shorter (10 inch) antennas ? do you get much signal drop out / interruption ?

My XM/Sirus configuration is a little unique - i use in dash pioneer head units in almost all our vehicles...pioneer offers an external XM tuner that plugs in to their proprietary P-Bus...its a simple 3 connection set up (power, signal bus & antenna)....with strategic placement of the xm tuner (under the dash/fuse box in the coach, behind the glove box in the jeep & f350) this set up allows me easily move the tuner between vehicles (and only pay for one subscription).
