Ok, speaking of suction cup antennas for the 296...

Am I the only one who can't figure out how to "unsuck" the suction cups
from the windshield?? Everytime I try to take the thing down, I end up
yanking the two small suction cups right off the bracket and scraping
my thumb nail cuticle trying to pop the larger suction cup!! I'm better
off with duct tape!

Funny you bring this up, until a couple of weeks I never had to use my
external antenna. I have started to lose satelite reception traveling on a
northerly heading. I was thinking they were working on some of the
sateliltes.
