first off i am tech inept, before i became ill i could do this schit blindfolded, i now have computer probs, aand not the yoke that i am typing on at the mo, i can see the mast, i have read the horror storys, i have an e586 and a b260a this i think is faulty, the reason for the antenna is i can see meteors mast but it is about 5-7 miles away, i would like to try both.
