Re: Antenna Thoughts and Suggestions

That's strange, I often get better coverage than it gives, and rarely (I don't remember a case) don't get it where it says.?? Make sure both antennas are entered correctly (it defaults to mobile coverage at 2 meters height), and I always lower RX sens to .25?? And I have used it on hundreds of locations ... counting both ends.??? Wished it had a little better resolution and sometimes the map is off a block at a distance (sometimes at a distance it paints the hilltop coverage off a little).
I consider it accurate, especially for the money.

This evening, once again, I tried Radio Mobile. I tried it a few years
ago at the request of the frequency coordinator in eastern Idaho. And
again this evening with similar results. If only I had the coverage it
shows. It is nothing close to what I really have. It shows coverage way
far out from what it really is. Maybe it is close in the flat lands, but
sure isn't here in the mountains.
