Plus, the Rangemaster is Type Approved and is designed to be legal 
out-of-the-box. That's mostly what you're paying for. You know that if you set it up 
according to the manufacturer's guidelines, Uncle Charlie will give it the green 
light. (If only P15 FM permitted as useful a signal as this.)

I looked at the WEBsite for that $90 unit, and it looks like an all-day 
project just to make that antenna... plus, you don't have a guarantee of 
compliance. Still, $90 compared to $1,000?
