Antennas for FM Tuners in Urban Setting

The best antenna is going to be a roof mounted antenna on a mast.  Unfortunately there aren't many being made. 

I recently purchased the ST3 antenna for my bedroom system and was not that impressed.  For an indoor antenna, I found that the less expensive  Magnum Dynalab SR100 worked better (for me).  I'm in a remote area pulling in distant stations.  I can't say if the ST3 might work better in an urban area.

I suggest checking out fmtunerinfo.com and the Yahoo FMTuners group.  Lots of great info about tuners there.

Unless you can rig a rooftop antenna, getting reception will be spotty with any of the indoor models. Depends on your location.

Start with a cheap dipole ($6.00)from Parts Express, you may surprised.

I can get my Mac MR71 to dial in a couple of stations to "8/9" strength

I use a  FANFARE - FM-2G Antenna, very similar to the Magnum Dynalab. 

I have 2 Mac tuners, an MR85 and MR88 and use Magnum Dynalab ST2 antennas on both.  My house is in a valley and I have no problems picking up the Boston stations that are 50 miles away. 

I have the Magnum Dynalab ST-2, not an ST3 as I said in my earlier post.  Too late to go back and edit it.
