at anything other than all the way up... your reception will be reduced... even with an s2000 antenna the reception will be reduced... radio signals are waves... the length of the wire plus antenna is exactly a multiple of the wavelength, when you change the height of the antenna, you're going to make it not match up to the wavelength which will then reduce reception...
