Bill,

Going with the EDM will be one of the best decisions you can make. I use the included antenna also, it doesn't transmit too far, but the sound is crystal clear.

If you're looking for a top of the line RDS model I have one for sale.  The seasons over so I don't need two.   I'll throw in a ferrite choke on the power supply and an antenna adapter as well.  It's assembled, tested, and ready to go.

One other thing about EDM. I lost my manual and this fall wanted to check some things. I sent EDM an email explaining that I had lost the manual and coud they send me another one. About 1 hour later the manual was in my email inbox.

Am I reading this right?  An antenna will improve sound quality?  Any more info appreciated.  I just use the whip rubber duck for mine and sound quality is decent...  I thought an antenna would just boost distance.

Sam, who is happy he flashed his etherdongle with newest firmware!

Feed a good antenna from a poor transmitter and you're not going to gain anything no.  From my experience a matched setup is what's important.

I use the same transmitter as Trekster.  It does just fine and I actually turn it down because I can pick up the signal over a 1/2 mile from inside my home.
