I ordered the pci-max from you a little while back. Man, is it great!
I am running it on the 100mw setting, and have a 75ohm line running to a 75/300 matching xformer,
with a folded-s dipole fm-receiver antenna hooked up. That is to say, it is NOT in an optimal
environment! I am getting about 1.25 - 1.5 miles of range from the antenna, which is only about 16
feet off of the ground, in my attic. This is a rolling, hilly terrain, so I really am punching the
airwaves! I probably should move the setting down to 20mw, but it is cool thinking that I am
playing (on an open frequency) some good sounds of music, streaming talk radio, comedy and the like
with virtually no background noise and with good stereo separation. Love your product!

P.S. I just switched the power down to 20mw, and did a road test. I was still able to get a pretty good signal at about .75 miles!
