    Is it just me or is the Satellite radio much better in the Prime. I am getting almost no dropouts from trees, embankments etc. than I did in my 2010. New antenna or?

    Same for me on a 2020 Prime Limited. My 2010 Satellite experience was like yours -- a lot worse than the 2020.

    Was the 2010 only XM? Do the Primes also see Sirius satellites?

    That makes a difference due to their orbits.
