About 3 months ago I ordered and built the AMT3000 and am currently using the supplied wire for the antenna. I just ran it straight up the wall. My reception is pretty good throughout the house, backyard, and my detached garage. I need to eventually hide this wire running up my wall(wifes idea). I was thinking of down through the floor to the basement,then up through my empty hvac vent to my open attic.
I do get a slight hum on a couple of my radio's.
It's great listening to a few of the big band stations found on line...also I downloaded 100's of old detective radio shows & music shows.
Any idea's about the antenna wire...gauge/length?
