Thanks much Ron! My mistake, thought they had a loop antenna for consoles. Interesting threads on these antennae. I will need to do some experimenting, I was just surprised to hear how much quieter my 41-250 was. A guy at K-town a few years ago said something to me about it being a low impedance  antenna that made it less susceptible to external noise and interference.
