No problem, the RatShack is right on the way home from me anyway. The RS catalog did mention that it has a max effective range of around 20-25 miles. I'm surprised that tuners don't have a "diversity" antenna like some OEM radios have. I had an Alpine OEM radio in my car (now it's a Sony Mobile ES because I wanted a CD player) which had two antennas and the tuner could process which antenna has the better feed and select it accordingly, I think this would be really good for home use, one could get an omnidirectional antenna for general use and get a really good directional for that hard-to-get station.Jay
... in that to get better than you have, you're really gonna need an outside antenna. All these indoor thingies are, at best a compromise which some choose to live with and others (like me) are forced to live with.Betcha Chris recommends either a Yagi or a turnstile, though.....
