here in cabo, we need larger antennas to pick up the xm stations.
sirius works here with just the normal antenna provided.
for dish net, we need a 2 meter dish to pick up all channels and for hd we need 3 dishes, one at 8 feet!
the high gain car antenna i purchased for xm here in mexico is actually a marine satellite antenna made for sirius radio, but it works great for xm.
Shakespeare Galaxy SRA-40 Low-Profile Radio Antenna
you can find it on ebay for around $50. yuo can unscrew the top, and simply mount just the top part with its little plastic stand. that way it is still low profile.
i mounted it on one of the cross bows and it works fine. i have had it for nearly 2 years now. easy enough to do it yourself.
not sure if it will work in alaska though.
good luck.
