In Reply to: how far away from you is the NPR station's transmitter? posted by Timbo in Oz on March 12, 2019 at 22:12:38:
I am roughly 20 miles from the transmitter as the crow flies....and I am up high already. (approx 2000 ft above sea level)
Yes, its a whip.
With the sleuth off signal meter is around 7.5 or 8, with sleuth on its almost 10.
I dont hear any increase in noise with the Sleuth on. Pretty high resolution system.
I am sure that noise would increase if you turned the Sleuth gain up, but I dont need to.
Had an outdoor antenna for a long time....signal just as clean with the indoor whip.
But, again I am pretty close to the transmitter and up higher.
