I have found an FM frequency on my car radio that is not being used.
I cannot get it to show up on my stratus 5 satellite radio.
I have tried everything and read the online things 10 times.
How do I set the satellite radio to a new frequency. It only shows the preset one that does not work in my area. The other 4 show as Empty.
The online suggestions for my area for frequencies to use are being used by radio stations.
Thanks
Bonnie
I have a Stratus 5
Go through the Settings Menu on the Reciever until you see Frequency Select It and then turn the dial until it matches the same frequency that you are using on the Radio.
You should be able to Enter a Frequency or Dial in another. If not you may have gotten a Bad reciever. I went through 4 before I got a Good one for my Truck.
Can you get anything to show on the Blank ones if you try the Buttons?
Yes, You should be able to tune into any Frequency That you Want to.
Hard to tell you without a Picture or Description of the Reciever. Give me a little bit and let me do a little more Research Ok.
Ok, I can;t get it on here due to the Size But, Go to www.Sirius.com and Scroll down to Help and Look for your Reciever. They have step by step Directions and Pictures to help you with the Frequency Tuning!
4. Press and hold the FM Presets/MENU button (see Figure 25, left). The MENU
OPTIONS screen will appear. Press the Channel UP/DOWN buttons to highlight FM
TRANSMITTER and press the Select button to select it.
5. The FM TRANSMITTER screen will appear (see Figure 25, right). Press the Channel
UP/DOWN buttons to highlight FM PRESETS and press the Select button to select it.
6. The FM PRESETS screen will appear (see Figure 26, left). FM1 will be highlighted. (FM1
is factory-set to 88.1MHz. This may not be the best frequency for your area.)
7. Press the Select button to select FM1. The FM FREQUENCY screen will appear (see
Figure 26, right).
8. Use the Channel UP/DOWN buttons to highlight the FM frequency that matches the
channel that you preset on your vehicle radio in Step 2 on page 43, then press the
Select button to select it. (See Figure 27.)

There is only one frequency showing on the Receiver and that is one that is being used by a radio station.
How do you "enter" a frequency?? That seems to be my problem
There is no dial on the Receiver.
I can scroll down to 5 entries.
All but one show as "Empty'
No nothing will input, should it?
Ok, but how???
I have done plenty of research online and still cannot figure it out.
I have a sirius stratus5
When I go to the Frequency selector it shows only one station:
81.5 and that is being used by a radio station here. The others say
"empty" and I cannot see a way to put the FM station frequency in
there.
I would appreciate your help if you can find anything else.
Thanks
Cannot find the Frequency tuning step by step!
nope
so I think I have to go to a more open space and set my radio again and hope it picks the station up
I am thinking that the satellite radio will pick them up automatically
and then I will have them on that list to pick from
Has to be the problem
I live in mountains so I may not be able to use this sat radio
thanks for the help
