Ideally, one would expect such a device to be substantial in weight, no? The unfortunate blessing is that none of the other items around it were damaged because of it's weight as it fell... Were the same fate to befall any of the other, older receivers I have had in the past (such as a...

I have tried many different materials, guys. Sandbags, a boat anchor, buck-shot... I even tried casting hot lead into the daggone thing in desperation to prevent the inevitable - but alas, all it took in the end was my cat to notice a butterfly fart on a daffodil in my garden to seal its fate...
