• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Can anybody recommend a TV Antenna for an automobile? I was planning on cannibalizing one of my kid's 7" LCD screens in the backseat for getting local TV Channels (already getting a DTV converter box for the backseat TVs) while out chasing but also for the kid's entertainment when not chasing. I am looking for something that would get at least get some reception (more than 20-25 miles). I prefer something that can be mounted to a luggage rack (Nissan Xterra) over a magnet mount but anything will do.

I have been looking at a Philips MANT-940 antenna at Wal Mart that appears can be mounted to a mast (but not sure if it can be mounted to the size of the railing on the Xterra's luggage rack). I kind of have a fear that the antenna mentioned is directional, but not too sure.
 
Here is what I was using. Worked great with an antenna amp. I PM'd you also.
