I thought I would continue in this thread as it has something to do with it.
Before the ANRB went South with the problems list in this thread, I was getting a range of 150 to 200 miles from here and during peak traffic was seeing up to 40 aircraft at one time.
Since getting the ANRB back from W&S my range has dropped to about 100 miles and very occasionally peaking at 170 miles. Attached is a screen shot of the polar diagram since the ANRB was re-installed.
I've changed nothing on the antenna, with the exception of adding a static discharge connector in-line but I've tried it both with & without this connected with no noticeable difference.
There is no pre-amp connected, it's a straight roof top antenna and 30m of Westflex.
You can see the polar diagram of want I was getting in this thread:
http://www.airnavsystems.com/forum/index.php?topic=6414.0Can anyone think of anything I can try to regain the range I had before the ANRB broke or any reason that the range should have changed so dramatically since it was repaired?
One think I have noticed since it came back is that the female SMA antenna connector on the back the ANRB is loose and I don't remember it being loose before. Could this have anything to do with it and is it easy for me to remove the cover and tighten it up?
