Hi all,
I have just installed a new external antenna, I was using the supplied antenna on my roof
but the RadarMax X2 has taken my plane count from around 20 to over 100.
See full info and photos here http://www.g0hwc.com/airnav_setup.html (http://www.g0hwc.com/airnav_setup.html)
And before you ask, NO I don't have any connection to the antenna supplier
Enjoy

Hi Paul, I'm glad you're pleased with your new antenna, but also have a look at this link - Caveat Emptor

Hi there Jon,
It sounds like someone had a problem.
My communication with Anchor have been nothing but a plesure, infact today
I have placed a order for the air band antenna and if its as good as the RadarMax I will
be more than happy. All I know is mine is working better that I could have hoped for.
Its now 10.10pm and still tracking 56 flights...
When the air band antenna turns up I will let readers know how I get on with it.
Paul
Isn´t it possible that I could receive any signals when I attach the Radarbox to the outdoor TV antenna?

The television antenna is VERY directional, tuned for a different frequency and not aimed into the sky. You may get a few signals off it, but I wouldn't expect too much.
So what options do I have when I live in an apartment? Do I need do buy an external antenna and discuss it with neighbours and somehow, get the antenna on the roof?
some of the external antennas are SO small no one would ever see it

Hi,
As I maybe mentioned in an earlier post we now use the Radar max on our scanner as it was doing such a pathetic job on the radarbox. It actually does a reasonable job on that so I suppose it is better than losing out on the £50 paid for it as they (Anchor) would not accept a return. I am glad the Radar max X2 is performing well for you though as this plane spotting is such a fine hobby.
