Yesterday....all my troubles seemed so far away....
Cakey, have you tried transmitting on the full wavelength with the US version? Only I put the US version in my microcat and tested it today only to find that no matter what the aerial length(s) I couldn't get past approx 130m range. It's somewhat disapointing after the UK versions far distance. I do prefer having the thing in the boat as opposed to sticking out of the front.
Think I'll try a different aerial material... What do you use for yours?
