It came together very quickly and works but has a few problems. First, it is supposed to run off 9v for 300' range or 12v for 400' range, but mine does not work at all on 12v. The only component I substituted was the 5.6pf cap for a 5pf. Also, it only goes about 30~40 feet rather than 300. It also seems to be very sensitive to static. It doesn't work at all if I touch it anywhere. I tried putting it in a metal box with the antenna going out and insulated on the inside but it wouldn't work in there either. It will only pick up my voice if its about 1 1/2' away, but that may be normal. Any suggestions?
