I am looking for an FM antenna amplifier

I need an antenna amplifier to pull in some weak signals. Anybody have any suggestions?

The Magnum Dynalab Signal Sleuth, which I also use, is really nice because of its' tunable front end & variable gain. It is also switchable on & offline from the front panel. However in either case you'll still need a good quality antenna as your signal source for quality results. Also be sure to use good low loss feedline, typically RG-6 coax.

Having owned and tried a couple of amplified antennas, I tried the ccrane non-amplified FM Reflect and was very satisfied, especially after bending it into the circular patern. It's only $25 and a 30 day money back guarantee.
