[Re: Red1979] #987792 03/19/10 06:25 AM Joined: May 2007 Posts: 580 central california R rascott Rock Warrior red1979 thanks for the tip. i will mess around with the knob some more. it seems clear when receiving a transmission then static when transmission ends. twisting the knob has no effect. suzi's in pieces at the moment- i hope to put her motor back in this next week- then i can get back to playing with it again. i look forward to it. richard sorry -i feel like i hijacked g&r's thread. also, here's another antenna idea i may try. i have an old firestick i've stripped down. http://www.qsl.net/n1lo/2mbike.pdf Last edited by rascott; 03/19/10 06:27 AM.
