Yep, had the tune trapper which gave very poor reception &amp\\; even added an RF amp, still no good, pulled it back off to go back to the whip, works much better now.......JD

Got impatient and ordered the tune trapper last night.&nbsp\\; Hopefully it will be good enough.&nbsp\\; I noticed the Dakota would not get the WB and I still want that so guess I'll try the TT and see what hapens.
