i bought the stratus from sirius and it works great in my car but in my work truck ( tri axl dump) it seems to be not as good . i find if im in mon city that i get really shitty reception and in wooded areas not so great basically like my cell phone. in my car i never have a problem. any idea? also what is the fm direct adapter for? ---
