I recently purchased a used Sportster 5. When I installed it, it wouldn't acquire a signal. I wiggled it in the base and it found signal, but the slightest bumb and it lost it. I then bought a home dock and it has the same result. The seller sent me a new car dock, but it STILL is the same. You move the radio a little and it looses signal. I have not been able to find anyone else experiencing this problem. Could it be 3 bad docks?
I know it's not the antenna's because if left completely still it works fine-of no use in my car though!
The seller will refund me but I hate to return it if it's my issue.
Thanks in advance,
Sherri

I had this happen with my first sportster as well. Returned it and never had the issue again.

Oh and BTW you should think about getting the stilleto, it is so worth the money.
