FM tuner use in SF Bay area


Hi all,

I was looking for guidance about purchasng a tuner to listen primarily to classical station 102.1 KDFC broadcasting from San Francisco.

Do any Bay Area Audiogon members have opinions or experience with FM tuners in this area? I am especially interested in tuner and antenna recommendations that supply outstanding performance.

thanks,

I am also a big fan of KDFC 102.1, so big of a fan that I just got an old tuner that I had laying around (Kenwood KT 8300 upgraded by Joseph Chow via Audio Horizon) just to listen to 102.1. The only antenna I use is a cheap Y wired indoor anntena. This antenna does not allow me to pull other stations in clearly but KDFC comes in crystal clear. The Kenwood KT 8300 does need to be mentioned as it is a very signal sensitive unit.

I live in the Richmond district in San Francisco surrounded by overhead power and bus lines. Anyway, KDFC should not be a problem but 91.1 the Jazz station is one that you will need an outdoor antenna.

BTW, hope you are not missing out on "Music around the World" on KDFC this week. They are playing music from a different country every hour.
