RHF,
I've read EVERYTHING there is on it. Bottom line:I went back to my original
setup using my permanent sleeve on my stock ext.antenna jack.

I have tried both, the proper ways and at least for my QTH it isn't even close
(as many agree in the 398 yahoo group) I pickup wayyyyyyyy more stations and
the S/N ratio is way better than with the rca jack.

No big deal, just another'mod' done for 'whatever' reason. It may be better for
ones living on top of each other or have electrical towers in their yard, but I
live out in the country and away from hardly an rf problems at all.

I'm VERY pleased now the way it is. :-)
