Huh, don't know what to say other than I'm not an *experienced antenna
installer*(meaning I don't get nor have I, got paid to put up an antenna) but
mine has logged manyyyyy a stations for years. Interesting. Sorry about your bad luck, and I really mean that Gary.

I really didn't consider it bad luck at all. The Grundig Satellit 650
was extremely sensitive, had a preselector, and worked wonders using
the internal monster whip antenna. On FM got MORE stations than my
Fisher stereo hooked up to an outdoor FM antenna on the roof. On SW,
received stations all over the dial, from all over the world. And
even thought it didn't have a sync detector, would still pick up clear
signals that I could NOT receive on my Sony 2010, both using their
internal whip antenna, expecially when there was strong interference
on BOTH sides of the desired signal. It had great selectivity. I
could usually use the 6.0 filter position and seldom had to switch to
the "medium" filter position, which was actually the 6.0 filter with
audio tailored to get rid of hets and other types of interference. Am
very sorry I sold that unit.
