Challenged

OK Timbo-San, antenna challenge accepted this afternoon.
Decided to try my apartment dwellers best. 6 footer on the
Library table and I went from 61 to 64 on my RBRX1 signal
readout. Max is 80. Multipath reads 11. The 61 score is from
a circular closet mounted antenna. Both sound pretty good
at that level.

Not to be denied I took out the dreaded Signal Sleuth.
I have rejected it many times before. Today I installed
it half way to the receiver, in a different room, different
Power outlet, and with some mild conditioner. A bit of
Boost, and up to 80 with ease. 4 hours of listening to
WFMT, and guess what, my ears are not bleeding.
Perhaps the Sleuth is not so evil if applied to an already
decent signal.

Makes me think that working out a very clean power supply
for the sleuth might be a good idea. Perhaps even battery.
Working with the fm signal is perhaps as delicate as the
digital realm. The guys over on Computer Asylum seem to
get a lotta bang for their power supply efforts.

Best, Mats
