Satellite Radio question

[Colossus]

Per Wikipedia

As of October 2012, there are nine satellites in orbit: four XM and five Sirius satellites. FM-6 was launched on October 25, 2013, and declared ready for service on December 2, 2013. Prior to that, XM-5 was sent into orbit by Proton from Kazakhstan on October 14, 2010, and is capable of broadcasting to either service. Sirius XM will not need to begin building new satellites until some time around 2017.

Sirius satellites broadcast within the S band frequencies from 2.3200–2.3325 GHz, while XM radio uses adjacent frequencies 2.3325–2.3450 GHz.

First of all I have had factory satellite radios since 2005. I just got a new 2017 LTZ crew cab 4X4. I have been driving the same route to work for over 3 years in south KC area. My previous truck was 2014 F150 Lariat. I listen to a lot of College Sports Radio. I have noticed on this new truck that in certain areas of my drive the broadcast will cut out. Now mind you not overhead trees or anything like that and the same route same station on my Ford never had any issues.

 

So does it sound like I have a bad antenna? Does any of y'all have issues like this with spotty coverage? I have also noticed it around the airport north of town.

 

Just wanted to ask if anyone else is having issues?

Seeing the exact same issue in nearly the exact same locations, south KC area. Called Sirius Radio a few weeks ago and they claimed they'd send out a radio refresh. Nothing changed.
