I need one

The antenna made for home use is a bit larger and is wired differently so that it does not need a ground plane. I tucked one under my gauge cover on the starboard side of the windshield actuator, pointed straight up. It hasn't lost the signal yet.
Hi folks,
I have been using Sirius only since the end of Dec, I have a Sirius One and the included magnetic antenna mounted on my BMR Co-Pilot shelf. I installed a small steel plate on the right side of the BMR shelf with double-side tape and stuck the antenna onto that.
I love the Sirius content, and the sound quality through the built-in FM transmitter is not bad (I don't use the intercom), my problem is that I get "No Signal" (and no sound) about 15 times on my way to work (1/2 hour ride), and this is on pretty open roads. Have other people also had good luck with using a "home" style antenna, such as the Monster home antenna? If so I may pick one up, they seem to run $30-40. Aside from the intermittent loss of signal, I love the radio.
My next step is figuring out a way to connect the direct audio out into my ice>Link iPod adapter so I can feed directly into the factory stereo, or maybe a hard-wired FM modulator for better sound quality. Suggestions in this area?
Thanks,
OB
