What happens if you put your tongue in the damned thing?

Subject: [RCSE] "Had a chance to do some
range tests with the Freq Checker ..today!'
I was soaring at the Denver sod farm sight and took some time to pace off
distances.
What I found was 130' with out an external antenna, BUT 50' max if I put
my body between it and the TX.
That was with the TX on the
ground standing straight up right , antenna full extended.
I did try shoving things in the extermal antenna port but it didn't
affect range one way or the other. I had a walkman head set and plug it
in. I undid the antenna in my cell phone and plugged it in also with no added
range.
So...don't buy one if you expect to scan the heavens, but do buy one if
you want to check your own Tx for the channel you last used, or to check in
the general pit area.
Definitely interested in seeing what it's own external antenna will
add!
