Jumpstartme2 - Thanks for your reply and all the information. MUCH appreciated. Did you get your money back? I have a clean line of sight for well over a 1/4 to 1/2 mile across a flat field. I get a signal of 75-79 on most days and some up to 80-84 on clear days. They told me '50' was all I needed? I was also told 'precipatation' could affect my signal. So far, during one recent thunderstorm, I lost the signal for awhile. But, that usually doesn't affect me. I have a metal barn with electric fence coming into my fuse box in the garage and then into my home. I've been 'hit' by lightning 3-4 times each year. Put lightning rods up on the roof of the house, finally to help. So, whenever it 'storms' , I unplug EVERYTHING in my house. LOL. Fool me once ...... WINK. BTW - I ran 21.6kpbs on 'dial up'. I now go through ten pages of gallery pics in an hour or less when it used to take me about five hours before. (I don't EVER want to hear from those here on 'high speed' internet that they 'don't have time to respond' to others' works. Especially, when they manage to post an upload daily. LOL.) Thanks, again, for your help. T.P.
