Best Roof Mounted FM Antenna


I am considering buying a Ron Smith Aerials outdoor antenna and heard that they are the best on the market. Is this a good choice? Since this is directional, would it be necessary to use a rotor? Thanks.

I am not familiar with that antenna. I also use an attic mounted multi element TV antenna for FM. I have it pointed to the south to pick up a couple of distant stations which it does well enough, some noise on one station. When listenting to local stations I have to switch the antenna input to a ribbon antenna mounted behind my tuner because the multi element antenna is directional, in the wrong direction unfortunately and is very noisy. A rotator would solve the problem but I feel that switching antennas is easier than rotating. It depends on your situation and why you need this particular antenna. Since I have only local stations and all distant station are to the south I am considering a tuner with 2 antenna inputs such as the new NAD Silver Series Tuner. Hope this helps.
