Location or equipment?
 

Which one is a better choice receptionwise?
A: Living on the 11th floor apartment and use a rubber duck antenna
B: Ground floor and own a super-duper antenna system

Tell me it is choice A 'cause rent is cheaper up there.
Thanks.

"A" No signal loss in antenna cable! No problems, having to install a
super-duper antenna system, in an apartment building, that may not even
allow it.

"A" of course, everything being equal, but there's also effects caused by
other buildings nearby or other obstructions.

If you are above the horizontal plane of the surrounding buildings and most
of the trees at the 11th floor level, no problemo, even with an ordinary
rubber duck. My pro-95 is very sensitive even being on the ground, but use a
celluar type mag mount antenna for my BC780XLT.

It's mounted on an old steel license plate on top of the bookcase. Provides
pretty good reception.
