    Gotta 16 Pete 579 with that concert class radio. I transfered my Sirius act to this new radio but I can't seem to find any channels on sxm1,2 or 3. It only goes to channel 0 or 1. Sirius tech support is no help and I do not have a manual for this radio.

    Any advice on how to fix this or reset it

    And yes I have a subscription and yes its paid.

    Thanks

    Did you call sirius and have them send out a new activation code to the new radio or perhaps send a new activation code from their web site? You also need to be able to hear programming (music) on channel 1 to insure you're receiving signal from the satellites, in order to receive the activation signal.

    Rush isn't on Sirrus XM so you don't need it.

    If you have a web account you can send the activation signal yourself. I've done it a few times when I've replaced the unit.
    And you need to wait about 15 minutes after the signal is sent, before changing the channel.

    I'm curious why the truck you are in even matters?

    Every XM radio that I have bought came with a manual.
    It is in the box.

    I don't know if the truck matters. I'm new to Pete so I put out as much info as I had to help narrow the issue
