## Detailed Guide

### Obstructions

Satellite signals need open sky. Tunnels, parking garages, and dense trees block them briefly.

### Antenna and cable

A loose or damaged cable is a common cause. Check the connection behind the radio if you can.

### Refresh

A refresh resends your subscription to the radio. Keep it on for a few minutes afterward.
