Harold, just wanted to say thanks again for posting this. I finally got my Tiger back together and it is working perfectly out to about 50 yards with a battery that was not fully charged. At that range I start having a bit of trouble when making a right turn [antenna is mounted in the left rear corner]. The tank can receive signals through walls in my house, and I've run it outside where I work standing in a courtyard with a brick wall seperating me from the tank. I didn't run it that much with the stock antennae - just ran it around the house a bit making sure everything worked before I took it apart to break in the gears/motors, etc., but I was having problems in the house with table & chair legs interfearing with the signal! Again, very impressive performance from this mod.

Also, don't forget to remind people doing this to be sure to use both sections of black wire that are attached to the stock antennae. I believe that I read at least one post where that was a cause of poor reception
