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?

Good luck with that powered antenna, I think you will need it. I never had any. I moved my antenna location to the attic where it works fine. I've used the Magnum type as well as yagi's (which I still have) and a bunch of others and ended up using a small circular type omni in place of the Magnum (which was used as a directional antenna - in omni not so good). It was very cheap on Amazon. My stations are about 50 miles or less from my house with some very small hills.

Radio Locator is a useful tool for gauging what is available at your location. |
You'll have much better results with one of these https://www.audioadvisor.com/mdst2?srsltid=AfmBOoolWusGX1_gTHryTDN6V9i2tmAwXxaCacKG9Vp6dt-k4_mkG75W Nothing will better a proper rooftop. I used one before going rooftop on my MR71. |
