happy to see how many stations i was able to pick up. I'm glad I made the move to include a "radio" to my system.

Ed.......Congratulations on putting FM radio back into your system. It is a wonderful source component that many choose to ignore. Too bad for them. FM radio is entertaining, spontaneous, and just plain fun to go looking for new music and distant stations. Don't overlook the AM band on your MR85. Install that external RAA1 AM antenna up in the attic. There's a lot of cool stuff on AM, and at night you can pull in stations from all around the country. A sound system without a tuner is incomplete in my opinion.
Glad to hear the Magnum Dynalab ST-2 antenna is doing its job well. Installing it in the attic at that elevation definitely improves it's ability to receive signals. My ST-2 is mounted at 28 feet from the ground to the bottom of the antenna on a second story eave outside. Even in this rural north Florida location and acres of oak and pine all around my home, the ST-2 does an excellent job with my McIntosh MR88 tuner.
