I seem to remember that the antenna must be turned to the receiver to
reliably point... or maybe it was "tuned to the indicator". Keep that
in mind as you try things out.

There are minor impedance issues depending upon antenna type, cable length
and type, phase of the moon, etc. These can effect the useful range of the
unit. The receiver has a small matching circuit that is normally adjusted
for best performance with the specific aircraft.

OTOH, if it's not too much money for an eBay replacement, it can hardly
have LESS range than the current unit that does not point to ANYTHING! G
