[TheList] antenna recommendation

Yeah.. the Icom R30 scanner was just being overloaded when its was without the filter.. 

once I put that in, I was able to listen to the ambo’s and fire again, but before that I was just being hammered with Broadcast interference. 

But yeah understood that was the case when it first went up there.. 

I was really just asking if anyone had a better filter than the kingray - which is doing a good job, but I am sure there are better out there .

Filtering may help to a degree but you'll never block it out, there is so much RF coming off the stack. When the FM transmitters were first relocated to there they had to drop the output power of all of them as they were swamping things like car radios in the CBD, especially cheaper ones with not so good front ends.
