I have both the pro-106 and BCD436HP. The 436 does do GCRN better in my area side by side with the stock antenna and set to FM. The pro-106 does not do a bad job, here is what I had to do with it. The stock antenna worked better than the 800mhz antenna. Depending on the day, weather and sun spots I have to move the radio to the optimal position. I put some marks on my desk and try each spot when using it to see what works best. Sometimes just inches horizontally or vertically will make the difference.
