That's an exceptional solution, of course. There are circumstances
where this solution would not apply. Where antennae produce more hassles
than the owner would like to deal with. (Most of which can be overcome,
but require a LOT of tenacity.) Or where there simply isn't enough real
estate.

Dressler actives are very low in noise, and surprisingly immune to
overload, making them excellent solutions for a variety of applications.
Placement is critical, though, and must be in the quietest location on
the property. And installation guidelines must be followed. But if
you're a serious SWL, and a wire isn't your best practical solution, a
Dressler is the next best thing to being on a island in the middle of
salt water.


And this IS a good price.
