Hi Steve,
That's pretty much what I figure too, but don't know what bands are veally available to xm and probably sirius too for that matter. I assume it must be the
same frequency allocations used by the repeaters they have in some big cities, but don't know those frequency allocations either. The radios must be
relatively broadbanded.

Don,
I'm guessing here, but I'll bet the receiver just searches for the
strongest signal it can find, and the repeater just happens to come
out on top. Logically, the repeater can't transmit on anything but
the frequencies the receiver can receive, and it probably doesn't
interfere with any of the ground signals because it doesn't radiate
very far beyond the house.
