Most probably I have the same shorted ANT500 and receiving static noise instead of FM.
DSP cosine waves were dis-functional in Scope Plot :( All other items worked well :) Looks like this shop has sent out more than one defective ANT500, since the same shop in Sweden sent ANT500 to me in Latvia. Should I use a paper clip as well ...? Or I could receive another one?
