NOPE, ONLY the H2. All 3 of My H3's did the Same thing. Im not sure why however I had the Factory Nav units in all of them and I have heard from Hummer Techs that the Factory Hummer Nav units have XM interference issues.
Hope this helps.

Thanks B&B,
Haven't heard that one about the factory navs. However as I stated the XM is received thru the Shark Fin on the factory NAV XM equiped units. That antenna is on the far right or passenger side roof.

The after market one that I have with my NAV is that 3 inch square magnetic job mounted in the center front that has seemed to work fine for the last 2.5 years.

Yesterday I went out in the pouring rain to the store. Didn't drop out once even under wet tree's with soaked leaves. This was about 20 min.

Then latter that night I went out for Pizza and it started dropping out again... Go Figure.

Your XM antenna may be giving up the ghost. I had one go out on me in an aftermarket unit and it gave similar symptoms.

I"m gonna shoot by my Motor sports guy and have him check it out. He quoted me $100..with the new anntena installed. This way if it does the same thing it's on him. I could probably rip the panels off and repace it my self but it's still raining here.
