Hey Mike,
The best test I know of is to listen to the radio with no antenna and then
hook up the flag... If there is a healthy rise in the noise level, you are
there... If not, then insert the rf amp you thoughtfully brought with you...
Also, conditions can change from day to day... I would install the anenna so
that the rf amp can be switched in and out as needed....
Remember, research trumps theory every time..
Denny
