Nothing will better a proper rooftop.
I used one before going rooftop on my MR71.
FM radio reception
Hello Audiogon Guru’s. I’m sure this discussion has been run through the washer umpteen times, but I’m having issues receiving decent radio reception with the basic dipole 75ohm antenna.
I have a McIntosh MR88 tuner and I’m unable to obtain constant reception of my favorite channels. Reception is in and out of HD and Stereo rendering FM radio unlistenable. I’ve tried several rabbit ear style antennas with no luck. Is there an alternative option to adding a roof mounted antenna with coaxial cable runs to my tuner location?
