I read a response on a different website where the guy having a similar problem took the car to his mechanic and they changed the antenna.

Another fellow said he solved this similar problem by doing a system reset. After the reset, he downloaded all of the system updates and reset the presets, etc. About 4 hours total but it did fix the problem.

SOURCE: sirius satellite radio

You will need to get another sat antenna, and locate it somewhere either above the camper, or where the camper does not obstruct the antenna. Any store that sells sat radio equipment (Fry's, Best Buy, etc) will have the micro antenna. Install it either on the hood of the truck, or on top of the camper. You will need to run the antenna to the rear of the dash. They make Y couplers that will allow you to run both the OEM antenna and the extermal antenna at the same time, and it will not hurt the system to have both wired in at the same time.

SOURCE: Sirius Problem

The sirius unit does not have any channels in the unit.
You need to refresh the radio (XM allows you to do it online, I dont know about sirius) and leave it powered on for about an hour for it to update the channel list.

SOURCE: Constantly goes to "linking" whenever I select Sirius. Sirius tells me that means an antenna problem. However, I have tried a new antenna with the same results.

The unit needs to be replaced. solder pins on the PC board of the unit are broken. Clarion has about 100,000 of these units with the same problem. You can find a replacement online for $50 that's been fixed & the problem should not re-occur. Sorry for the bad news. Hope this helps

Connex 3300 HP won't change channels when you turn ch. selector stays on same channel ch. 32.

There is a board in the CB called a PCB board. If you open your radio it is a little circuit board. Held onto the side of the radio by a screw and has two or three connectors leading to the board. Replace that little board and your radio will be good as new. I have seen radios come in my shop many times and this is the fix. What that board does is send a signal to the crystals to start mixing a frequency. When it goes out it just sticks where it is at. Here is a link to a place that can take care of you. http://www.hyelectronics.com/default.asp You tell them you need the little PCB board for a Connex 3300 inside the radio. Might be $35 or so.

I just bought a 2007 Dodge 3500 Laramie and signed up for Sirius radio. I gave them the 12 diget number that came up on the radio screen (channel 184) and when they tried three times to activate it nothing...

I bought a used 2008 Ram 1500 SLT Sport; satellite would stay stuck on channel 184 with no sound, etc.

Solution: Disconnect negative wire from vehicle battery; wait 1-hour then reconnect. This clears satellite radio cache (a.k.a. hard reset).

Turn on satellite radion; Call Sirius support to send activation signal. Wait on phone with tech support; may take them 2 - 3 tries to get signal to take on radio.

I have a 2008 dodge ram came to work this mornining turned my radio on and no sound just channel 184 and cannot change it.

That is the Sirius free 'test' channel. Do you have and pay for Sirius satellite radio service? If not you might try the AM/FM button to return to the band you were used to listening to. If you do pay for the service check to make sure your bill is current and try turning the stereo on and off a couple times. Pause for a moment while the stereo is off before turning back on.
