Well, any luck getting it yet? When I order from AES, I live in Pittsburgh,
and AES has a store in Cleveland. 95% of the time, if I order by 5:00 PM
one night, I get the item the next day. It's not express shipping either,
just happens to be in the UPS delivery zone that arrives in Pittsburgh
every night.

Let us know how it works out.


Shipped from Denver on Tuesday, delivered by UPS in McAlester, OK,
(southeast part of the state) on Thursday (note: that's less time
than it takes FedEx to deliver a package, *after* the package has
arrived in town, but that's another story).

Haven't installed the DSP unit yet, and right now it's sitting in
the living room with 10 feet of wire strung across the ceiling for
an antenna. With that little bit of wire, it's fairly deaf - which
is what I'd expect. Plan to use an existing run of coax from the
living room out to the old C-band dish, and put up an inverted vee
out there. First, have to move out the old dish, then have to find
a support high enough, sturdy enough, and cheap enough to support
the antenna (without guying). This is gonna take a few days ;-)

It's already apparent that the AM filter(s) are not sharp enough
to eliminate the splatter from KNED when listening to KFAQ, and
I thought they would be - my old Kenwood TS-940 handles the problem
quite nicely..... may have to build a loop and hook it up to the
second antenna input to take care of that problem.
