Where are you (state)? Where is your antenna? |

| I had to put my antenna on the roof with my sportster replay. The window deal never worked good enough for a steady signal for me. |

| Do you have an overhang on your house? The antenna can't have anything blocking it...I have to put mine all the way out as far as it will go on the ledge, like four or five feet out past the wall of my building... |

| Don't extend the antenna all the way out. Make sure it is kinda at a tilt, that works for me. |

That is what I did and I get no signal loss
I placed it on my roof, wedge it under a shingle, or a external vent shroud |

| Had to put mine on the roof. I have a cable hanging out my bedroom window to the antenna I dropped in the gutter but I live in Tennessee and the redneck look is in down here. |

As the previous post says, mount an exterior antenna as high as possible, pointing towards the South Dakota skies, and you will NEVER lose the signal again. Guarateed. It's the only permanent long-term solution for the home. Highly recommended to ANYONE with a home reception problem. It will be the best money you spend. You'll have endless hours of uninterrupted, trouble-free, reliable reception. No more screwing around with moving the antenna all over the place and missing the entertainment value due to technical problems. You'll be relieved, and happy you did it. Good luck. |

I have my antenna inside on the 2nd floor near a window pointing east. No problem here. I can pick up the signal on my Sony Walkman Armband Radio while doing yard work. The signal travels around 3 houses away. The boombox in the garage also picks it up no problems.
I have the Xact 8 |

| My antenna is in the house, works ok, but it seems to depend on the weather, if it's windy, reception sucks. It's also better late at night. |

i have the boombox and i have to stick it out in the balcony to get reception, i heard i can pick up the feed on all my other radios in the house with the feed of my boombox, if so do i need to do anything or just set my radios to the correct station? |

| I'm in an office and can't get service. I'm so frustrated! I even bought the nice executive desktop docking station. I was getting service for the first couple months, but now it's nada...I have a window, but it faces SW, and I think the antenna has to face North here. Any suggestions?? I can't put an antenna on our roof... |
