-> What I get is distant stations that operate on the same

-> scanner.  I have been told that this is becuase my antenna is "to
-> strong"... Is there a way I can "cut" the reception power down a bit
-> on the antenna?
I think what you're getting is overload from high-power stations, not a
"too-sensitive" antenna... set your squelch as tight as possible without
impairing your RX of the needed signals and basically live with it...
there's not much that can be done.
I have the same problem when I take my BC200XLT handheld downtown, with
interference from pagers.
