[RFI] Urban noise

[Tom Thompson]

Hi Dave,

We were using a 3 ft. whip with a high impedance preamp into a Perseus 
receiver.  The antenna system was mounted on the car using a mag mount.  
I use a similar setup with an SDRPlay receiver.  Since the antenna 
system is broadband, you don't have to worry about a frequency sensitive 
antenna factor affecting your readings.  One concern is that the 
receiver/preamp does not being overloaded with strong broadcast 
stations.  We built our preamps with attenuation in the AM and FM 
broadcast spectrum.
