I have a Discovery, too, but I hadn't discovered the splitter, probably
because I've not been paying attention to revisions. I'm still on 1831.
Overall I really like the unit, but I can tell my antenna situation is
holding it back. I don't have the FM/TV antenna wired to that end of the
house, so I'm relying on a Youloop. For AM, I have a Select-A-Tenna facing
it, with my long wire plugged into the S-A-T. The combo definitely kicks
the signal up above any of the individual antennas and lets me peak specific
frequencies on the BCB.
It does a good job on my second floor balcony. It is directional.
My procedure - tune a weak signal, put the PC audio output on bluetooth to my portable headphones, then walk out to the balcony and rotate the YouLoop antenna for best signal strength.
I've got the Youloop on a lazy susan, on a table in the center of the room.
I sit at a desk in the corner, the antenna is behind me, so tuning is
pretty easy. Haven't tried it outside yet, though
Output is run through an a/v receiver and bookshelf speakers. Headphones
might help, but I live alone and don't generally enjoy h/phones.
