AM and FM antenna systems


I am trying to help an older couple achieve much better reception for both AM and FM on their stereo receiver.  They listen on their main floor and have no upstairs or attic space is available for antenna placement. A roof-mounted antenna is not feasible.


Have any of you had any positive experiences with AM or FM antenna systems that would help them?


Thanks!

I like Godar - while I have found the specific placement is important despite the instructions, mine on the first floor works great.
I bought a godar and found it no better than basic good quality rabbit ears or dipole antenna (nothing ever seems to be). and harder to locate optimally for best reception. Sold it and went back to dipole.   Term was no better either though amplifier helps a little with some stations.  Unfortunately outdoor roof antennas or indoor antennas high up even in attic when possible is always best.
Many thanks to each of you for the quick response.  I assume from the lack of comment following Yogiboy'S AM comment that significant AM improvement is most likely a lost cause (?).

Also... if they were OK with spending $300+ would you advise buying a nice dynalab fm tuner OR the magnum dynalab sleuth antenna?

Thanks again.

There's no way to answer this question, because you haven't provided any information about what you're trying to do. Are you trying to receive strong, local signals, but have a problem with multipath? Are you trying to receive noisy, distant signals?

The Signal Sleuth is not an antenna, btw. It's a tuneable antenna amplifier.
