Applications

The TERK SIR6 Outdoor Satellite Radio Home Antenna

Due to the paths of SIRIUS satellites over the US, the best
location for the antenna will depend on what part of the
country you live in, the orientation of your home, and the
locations of any obstructions that could prevent the satellite
signal from reaching the antenna. Use the map shown
below as a general placement guide for your antenna. The
location of the “X” on the map must be visible to the
antenna. It is recommended that, before mounting the
antenna, you hold the antenna in the desired mounting
location with the SIRIUS system set-up and on to make sure
that the system works with the antenna in that location.
