Re: urq antenna problems

[c a l i b a n <caliban@sharon.net>]

	many, many thanks to all those that replied about
	my antenna!  my current thought is that the amp
	simply has no power.  someone said that it gets
	power from the antenna power lead from the head 
	unit.  i never hooked up this lead because i thought
	it was only for activating power up/down antennae,
	not powering an amp for it.  i'll investigate and,
	of course, report back!
