Glad it helped, I can't believe that was 8 years ago.

FYI the Hirschmann 2040 antenna pictured lasted about 6 years, and I then found it jammed and hot to the touch in a melted housing, where it apparently been trying to run for some time. At least it didn't go up in flames.

At that point I had enough with power antennas and put in a $10 manual antenna I found from a German eBay seller "surga-performance-de"

Hopefully yours will last longer. The Hirschmann 2040 is apparently no longer produced, did you install the 2050 model?
