My GPS-II was one of the first 12-channel receivers, and works just
fine inside my house (lumber, brick, stucco) and my boat (fiberglass,
metal mast and rigging), but not inside work (steel-frame 7 story
monster) or my truck, unless I slide it up on the dash so it's not
under the roof. I haven't tried duct-taping it in the sun roof on
the Land Cruiser yet, but might do so this weekend. ;^)
