[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1243885, member: 141969"] So it looks as though my aerial system needs improving. :( It is a wide-band aerial (the old group W), so it should receive both COM7 and COM8. Although COM8 is fine (and it is the higher frequency), COM7 is not received at a usable signal level. I probably need to re-align or reposition the aerial. I have a simple signal-strength meter (purchased from Maplin some years ago). Perhaps I should try using it! :D -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
