Questions R8

Okay, I just got an R8, and this steps things up several notches from
previous receivers (DAMN what a radio... all it's missing is the FM
band in stereo). So I have a few questions.

Checking the noise floor, the meter shows almost down to S1 at some
frequencies. Is that reading reliable/meaningful? The antenna is a
150' long wire, coax into the house.

In a quiet location, a reading of S1 could be expected. Biggest antenna here is
currently 200'.


I'd like to run audio into my sound card, but it's too sensitive for
line out. How do people convert/attenuate/whatever the signal?

I'm getting **** not listed at PrimeTime (including those number
stations). Are there other resources?

I swear by, not at, Drake receivers.
