Can you get under the hood and unplug the FM antenna?

Or maybe put a attenuator of some sort in line with it?

Or just cut off the lead in cable?

The Sirius radio has 88.1, 88.3 88.5 and 88.7 preset out. So I ca switch

it
at will.. But the problem is I have to dig around behind the radio to flip
the switch.. and in some cities they have all those frequencies in use. It
don't take much to over ride the modulator. I'm going to see if I can

maybe
make an antenna to connect to the Sirius radio to bring the level up a bit
and get it closer..

I could us one of them cassette devices, but that's just another piece of
equipment hanging off the front of the radio.. I already have a hf and a

vhf
radio. Not to mention the normal car radio.. One would think I had enough

to
listen too.. LOL

I have a Sirius sat radio and I like it a lot. The big problem I have

that's
fine if the frequency is clear, as I travel I bump into FM stations on
the
same frequency and it bleeds through. I know they sell switches to

divert
the car radio's antenna to either the normal antenna or the Sirius

radio.
The problem is I don't want to rip my dash to take out the radio to

make
that connection and was thinking that a little more power out on the FM
side
would help a lot. Does anyone have any ideas? A small amp for the FM

out
comes to mind. Anyone have any experience with anything like this?


Can the Sirius radio be set to a different FM frequency?
