Audio Systems: Alpine XM tuner, computer cooling fans, alpine cda


Question
I have an Alpine CDA-9807 tied into a TUA-T021 XM tuner. First time I turn on XM in the morning the tuner will play for about 1 1/2 hours then the screen flashes "LOADING" for approx. 17-30 minutes, then it might play again for 10-30 minutes and then flashes "LOADING" again. If I unplug the power connector to the XM tuner and then plug it back in, it might play for about 10 minutes, then it goes to "LOADING" again. I have checked my power connections, ground, and have even installed very small computer cooling fans on two of the XM tuner case vents. all to no avail. Any ideas?

thanks

Joel

Answer
when my alpine with xm did that, my through glass antenna being not mounted exactly over the inside glass antenna part was the culprit. i got the shop that installed it wrong to make it right. haven't had a bit of trouble with it since,(except around mountains and airports) that was 3 years ago. you might try repositioning your antenna, if possible.
