What cards? My 8200 MK3 B works fine out of the box. Mainly the CTCSS/DCS card, which feature the Icom has built in. I don't know what, if any, benefit this would be in normal listening. There are five cards in total available, but only on can be used at a time in the 8200. I believe the base station version of the radio lets you use more. http://www.aorusa.com/ar8200.html Sounds like a very happy user: http://www.ukmidlandscanner.co.uk/8200mk3.htm The R20: http://www.ukmidlandscanner.co.uk/r20rev.htm mike |

You have an RF Gain Control and Attenuator built into the Icom IC-R20 and a Gain Control built into the MFJ-1020C. Active Antenna Signal Overload - Back-Off on them to reduce and prevent any Signal Overload of the Radio. Remember - That you have to Tune both the Radio and the Active Antenna to the same Frequency to use them properly. Wide-Band Scanner Receivers -and- Wide-Band Active Antennas - = Synergy & Utility = - TIP - With a Scanning Wideband Radio you may find a Wideband Active Antenna the better 'choice' versus an Active Antenna that you will be Required to Re-Tune with each Frequency change. Two Wide-Band Active Antennas : You may want to consider the MFJ-1022 Wideband Activehttp://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/sw_ant/3109.html Indoor Receiving Antenna : Coverage 300 kHz to 200 MHz * Small Compact and Designed to be used Indoors * "No" Tuning Required * Adjust the Radio's RF Gain Control and Attenuator to reduce and prevent Signal Overload Another 'alternative' is the Kaito KA35 Active MW/SW Antennahttp://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/sw_ant/4835.htmlhttp://cgi.ebay.com/_W0QQitemZ250194482431 * Small Compact and Designed to be used Indoors * "No" Tuning Required * Adjust the Radio's RF Gain Control and Attenuator to reduce and prevent Signal Overload + Two Antenna Elements Coverage : 100 kHz to 30 MHz + + AM/MW Ferrite Rod {Directional} LW+MW+SW3MHz + + Shortwave Whip {Non-Directional} SW 3MHz~ 30 MHz -ps- Telamon be sure to count this as another one of my 'clueless posts' with plenty of : cut, copy, and paste variety *. *. again hope this helps - iane ~ RHF *{pomkia} *.
