@sladetroityer: Roof mount antenna see here.

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?

You didn't mention whether the Sirius is working properly. If so and the issue is just FM the unit may be in need of servicing. I state this because I own an MR88 and it's currently in for service at Audio Classics for a bad connector. I have an outdoor combination Sirius/FM antenna which ideal for the MR88. It's an AFXSM-6 obtained through Satellite Radio Superstore. If you shoot me a contact at flairhead78@yahoo I'll share pics. -Scott |
Scott, I don’t use Sirius but this unit has very little hours on it. I don’t suspect it has any type of electrical issue. Some stations come in just fine, but most do not. I am rooghly 30/50 miles from the stations I’m trying to pick up. I have other FM receivers, and for the most part, they don’t pick up the signals all that well either. |
