I also have Windows 10 with its Edge browser that goes to the index page on many links to a detailed link. Using Internet Explorer as the browser does not fix it.
EDIT: If I click on the link I get to the index page. But if I copy the link and paste it into Edge browser it goes to the project properly.
Your new link works fine when I click on it with Windows 10 and its Edge browser. I tried the old link again just now and it opened the index page again.Let me know how it works, please.

I disagree with needing diversity for a half-decent FM radio design. A good FM tuner has a good "capture ratio" where it captures only one signal in a mess of multipaths and it also has good AM rejection. A cheap radio will have flutter and distortion.
A rather simplistic view there AG.I disagree with needing diversity for a half-decent FM radio design. A good FM tuner has a good "capture ratio" where it captures only one signal in a mess of multipaths and it also has good AM rejection. A cheap radio will have flutter and distortion.
I listen to FM radio a lot and live near a major airport. A cheap or even medium quality radio produces "flutter" (cancellations due to multipath) and distortion but my hifi system does not. Both use a simple piece of wire as the antenna. I have never heard flutter on my car radio and have not heard multipath distortion for many years.If the direct wave and the reflected wave cancel out, there is no signal and you cannot receive something which is not there.
Combining signals from two different antennas is tricky because the distance changes the time phase of the signal and it can cause cancellation instead of addition.I am using an alpine deck for the radio with the capture ratio of 2db. I would like to use this circuit because my car, a 96 Toyota Celica, actually has two antennas out of the factory, the fender mount antenna, and a window antenna embedded in the back hatch window, and I wanted to take full advantage of them both. I already tried using a y adapter to combine the two, but it actually made the reception worse.

IMHO, using two antennas is a major pain and just using one good one is way easier.
I reviewed the article on the device and it looks extremely complicated. I also wonder how likely it is that two mediocre antennas located about six feet apart would have a "bad" signal on one and a good signal on the other.
Car reception is always problematic because the receiver keeps changing position with respect to the signal source. That means the antenna has to be as omni directional as possible which means (of course) highest chance of getting a multipath signal.
Digital signal processing could be used to "take out" signals of the same frequency that arrive later but it would be complicated. I doubt they are going to put that kind of money into a car radio when FM is basically turning into talk radio and sports anyway.
The FM stations I listen to are music only and frequently they have one hour of music continuously without any ads. I do not listen to talk radio stations nor sports radio stations.I doubt they are going to put that kind of money into a car radio when FM is basically turning into talk radio and sports anyway.
Yes, I read it. That is what I am very skeptical about. I have my doubts it's cost and complexity will yield enough improvement to justify it.Remember when the article said that you can get bad reception when you stop at a light for example, and then move a short distance ahead and get the station back? If there were an antenna in a different location, there is a chance that it is getting better reception and switching to it would improve the reception, which is what the device does when it loses the pilot signal.
Around here there is no music worth listening to on the radio and ad/jabber content averages about 20 - 25 minutes per hour which I find completely intolerable.The FM stations I listen to are music only and frequently they have one hour of music continuously without any ads.

I found a better cure for music reception problems: a five hour MP3 music CD that runs containing the music I like and has zero ad content. Every piece of music ever recorded is on Youtube now, you don't even have to pay for music if you don't feel obligated to. IMHO, commercial radio passed the point of intolerable ad content many years ago.... and TV is peering over that precipice right now (the average TV show now has about 20 minutes of commercials per hour). The latest feature of TiVo is commercial "skip" where they set in markers on any recorded show that allows a one button instant skip over all junk to the next program point. Well worth the money....
Yes. There is no legal restriction, however TV stations all do the same thing by convention at least on network (prime time). If you have Netflix you can see program length by era:Radio stations in Canada want to attract more listeners and keep the happy ones they already have. Then they can sell ads at a high cost to only a few advertisers. I think there are surveys that show the number of listeners. Therefore there are only a few short ads per hour and frequently no ads for an hour. I think the Canadian government regulates ads to be infrequent and short.
Ads on radio stations in the US are completely different? US radio stations want to annoy and drive away listeners by having too many ads?
