There is nothing wrong with the JSE signal. I vacation in the Crest and have never had a problem with the signal. Ducting is another thing over which no one has control. If there is a way to further enhance or maximize the JSE signal, they'll do it. This is a quality group on very smart programming and engineering minds. I, too, have the worst signal on the planet from my C. Crane FM transmitter if judged from a block away, but im my primary "market" (my house and back yard)..I'm on par with the big boys.
