I have  a 898.  Our weather has been so bad here...I wasn't able to hit the water for almost 3 months.  When I decided to check everything out before hitting the water.....my unit did the very same thing.  I contacted XM and after they sent me a few new signal boost and a couple of hours...mine has worked good.  Good luck.

Call HB today they said I must subscribe to the Basic Weather and Nav. package not the fisherman's package . I would have guessed the unit would handle the fisherman's package if it was used by a fisherman  lol. Boat in shop getting Cobia tower put on will see if it works by Friday.
