Gents: XM radio is showing up on Band 2 ( or on the radio "X2") with all the stations listed.

 

But X1 and X3 are not showing anything.

 

Do you have to have Xm reset the satellite signal and go to channel 1 for each of the two other bands ?

 

Seems odd that the radio is fully programmed with the XM stations on one of the three XM bands, and it wouldn't copy over the radio station list into the other two bands.

Its not three bands. Its three sets of presets. You get full access to all of the channels on each set, but the 3 "bands" are so you can have three sets of presets to go through, instead of always using the "DIRECT" option or scrolling through 175 channels.

That's my problem. I don't get full access to all of the channels on the 3 presets.

Only on one.

Do I need to keep channel 1 on each of the presets for 20 minutes to acquire the channel list for each of these?

Never mind I figured it out.

 

You have to hit the mode button to load in the channels.
