I don't have any problem with the receiver on mine. Maybe that is why you
got such a good deal at the surplus place. I keep my antenna about 1.5 feet
high and it lights the "most accurate" light almost every night. If I go to
an external antenna or extend the rod antenna to its full extent, the "most
accurate light is on for the majority of the time.
