Outside in the clear, a far more compact antenna such as the CS2 should be able to receive all the signals from 228° compass.
Thanks for the advice. I rotated my CS2 about 30 degrees and I get good signal now on all of the problem channels. For a multi-directional, it's fairly directional.

I will keep the 91XG in mind. We haven't had snow yet this year, but I will watch out for the signal change.
