i went out to the edge of our yard and reception was fine-- the
bzzzzzzhmmmmmmmmm decreased as distance from the house increased. can this be fixed with an external antenna mounted sufficiently away from the house, but with an ultra-shielded lead-in cable to the house? |

Yes . . . take your radio outside, truck it around in the yard, find the best reception area, put up an antenna there. then put in a nice shielded co-ax into your house, shielding the whole thing. Duct tape is actually a fairly good shield, BTW . .. |
