(Of course I can forget about listening to JFK or LGA.) Ummm... you may have a different problem. Presumably, you're using an indoor antenna as I doubt the windows open at the 250ft level. For energy efficiency, such windows are coated with Titanium Dioxide and other metallic coating designed to reflect infrared to improve the energy efficiency of the HVAC system. Unfortunately, they also block RF to varying degrees. If you're experiencing somewhat weak reception, it might be the Low-E coating. Unless you can arrange for antenna on the rooftop (unlikely), I can't offer a solution. P.S. On a different note, I'll be putting a perfectly restored Sony Pro80 in as-new operational and cosmetic condition on eBay in the next couple of weeks. Good luck. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |
