Sirius Radio Frequencies

Once you have your Sirius radio activated, the next major step is to find a radio frequency on the FM dial that will give you the cleanest signal. Most people when they find a frequency are able to have that frequency apply to their Sirius radio vehicle kits as well as the Sirius radio home docking units.

Sirius Canada used to have a listing of suggested frequencies at www.sirius.ca but I can no longer seem to find it. Many of the older Sirius Radio units that you can still purchase have the old website listed but it appears to no longer be there.

It can be a daunting task, however once you find that great radio frequency you will enjoy minimal static on your radio. It is helpful to keep in mind the frequencies of your local FM radio stations. You may find that staying as far away from them as you can will be helpful and reduce signal interference. There may be occasional exceptions to this rule. When I recently set up my newer Sirius Stratus Radio, I was able to land on a radio frequency that was only a few decimal points off of the local country station. Surprisingly it is a clean signal. 

The whole process of finding a Sirius radio frequency essentially is trial and error. You may spend up to an hour or so until you find that right frequency. If you are getting frustrated, I would not recommend calling Sirius customer service right away. Ensure that you have checked out every possible frequency you could land on. One of them should work eventually.
