Thanks again....I'll copy and paste this to a document. Question....what about
angling the antenna...ie, not vertical but maybe at a 45 degree angle. I
mention this as my Zenith Oceanics manual recommends it. And the manual also
says to only pull the antenna out about 16 inches.

I'm gonna answer that with 'do whatever works'. VHF (FM) reception
conditions can vary wildly from one side of the room to the other. When
the TOs were made there was no circular polarization so that advice may
have lost a bit of creedence over the years.
Still dunno about the 16". I have a TO 3000-1 squirreled away, next
time I find it and dust it off I'll try that.
