[ACARS] ACARS listening -HELP-

Thu, 23 Oct 2003 12:28:12 +0100

Hi Ruediger

Thanks for your help, tomorrow UPS will delivery to me an internal steel
amplified antena with 40 cms longer per 3,5 cms large from Universal Radio,
I hope I can solve reception problems installing it near a window.

Carlos

Hi Carlos,
just another idea: You�re not allowed for an outside antenna as you
wrote. But what about fixing an antenna just at the outer side of your
window with tape, that will not attract anyones attention. You may use
a simply car antenna for example. Will improve your reception very
well. So long Ruediger.
