Default Hey Steve (sdaniel13), and Ron Hardin

Just picked up an ANC-4, and am pleased with its performance so far;
however, I'm having trouble with my noise antenna, almost regardless of
length, being overloaded by a local broadcast station. According to the
manual, as well as a post Steve submitted here a few months ago, there's a
jumper which can be moved to attenuate the MW band. Unfortunately, this
jumper, JP3, isn't obvious to me on this board. I'm not sure if it has been
removed by the previous owner, as I bought it used, or if I'm just not
getting something. Is this a pretty straight forward thing that I'm just
missing somehow? Also, as far as wires go, which have you found to perform
the best as a noise antenna? I'm currently using an inverted L of sixty or
so feet phased against the ALA-1530, which works fine aside from the
overload issue.
