Except engineering gets to screw up things under the hood - so the vehicle
needs to be half torn apart to change a battery or the plugs ;-)

I think the larger problem is a lack of standardization in receive
antenna systems for broadcast FM.
The late 60s/70s brought along ignorant antenna designs, like the
windshield-integrated dipole and the 45-degree swept-back dipole. Now
we've got even more ignorant designs like the 45 degree s
Back in the late 60's or early 70's we tried this on one of the stations
I was involved with. CP can work with separate antennas but only if the
vertical and horizontal elements are in the same vertical axis and fed in
quadrature or 90 degrees out of phase. And the SWR needed to be absolutel
By default, a voting remote receiver system does that. Two of our remote
receivers for our 2M repeater happen to be about 14 miles apart. I can hear
the link transmitters from those sites and will often switch between the two to
compare.
On a fixed-station user maybe more than 50-60 miles a
