I've seen it. Thanks for taking the time to produce it. Since I have 
one I knew physically what the box contained and how it operated.

I'm looking for reception reports. I have two mobile units, the JVC 
in the car and the Insignia. Both exhibit the same problems. The JVC 
is more stable because the antenna isn't flopping all over the place 
as I move. I live in mountainous country where the analog is good 
(major power, perhaps) and the digital falls short.

I might not be so disappointed in the system if I lived where the 
cheerleaders do, mostly flat terrain, high towers and Class C power. 
Even in a major city where I can see the antennas on a building in 
the middle of the city. I moved out of New York too soon.
