What + experience have you had with an indoor FM antenna?


Right now, I cannot do an outdoor antenna, so thinking of adding an indoor one.  I had the Magnum Dynalab indoor antenna and would say it was O.K. ....I have not been very interested in amplified antennas.  I am not in a good FM area and find online FM to be limited in sound quality, frequency response...and way too much talk...even some esoteric online seem to have hosts/D.J.s that cannot shut up and play music.

 It really all depends on location.

 FWIW, I have found the Magnum Dynalab  SR100 to work very well in various locations:

  FM Antennas - dipole vertical fm antenna and silver ribbon antenna (magnumdynalab.com)

IME, even better than their more expensive ST-2.  A tweak hack for the SR100 is to shorten the built in twin lead cable and attach a balun transformer as close as possible to the antenna segments and then connect a quad insulated RG-6 co-axial cable from balun transformer to the tuner. The antenna segments have sharp edges; so it might not be best around children

  For much less money, I have also had some success with a Radio Shack Cat. No. 15-1874 TV  telescopic rabbit ears antenna. This comes with an approximately 4' long non-detachable RG-59 co-axial cable.
