I've smoked a few times with the ET-73 and noticed an issue with the range as well. Doesn't seem to want to go 100 feet. Thinking the double paned thermo glass windows are having an effect.

Not sure I have the cajones to try this (yet), but clearly working thinking about. I've included another link in the event the antenna is different in yours (mine).

Anyone try these or something else that would be simpler? I am no electrician.....
