I've had Sirius for over 5 years and move my reciever and antenna among 4 different cars. In that time, I have had 3 antennas go bad. The problem is that the antenna wire is not just a wire. It is a co-axial cable. The central conductor is a VERY thin wire covered by insulation covered by a VERY thin and fragile metallic foil sheild covered by a black plastic jacket. The metallic foil sheild is VERY succeptable to damage and breaking, especially if the antenna wire is bent sharply from side to side. Without special tools, this co-ax cable is nearly impossible to splice back together. The antennas are pretty much all the same and I've had good luck finding antennas on Ebay and Craigslist. I have bought several by buying the whole used system for $10-$15 which is FAR cheaper than buying just the antenna from most sources.
