Unfortunately both the Sony and Pioneer only have led "steps", no analog meters.

The led steps seem very crude, even with top level led lit, the Sony has some issue sometimes with reception using the omnis.

And since I have multiple antennas and even the dipole and omni have some directionality, I would like to have some way to guide the orientation and gauge the gains.

FM is in between channel 6 & 7 on the TV dial- so yes in the thick of it as it were-
You should also try FM Fool- you can put in your zip code and height of antenna and it will map polars for available stations-
This may well help as most antennas are directional - except the ST-2 from MD and analogues...
but all others are directional...

for signal strength to be meaningful you also need to look at center tune (and whether they are broadcasting accurately) and multipath - it can get complicated -
is your MR-77 still extant?
the tuning section is pretty good and it has a multipath detector - assuming that the tube is not tiered...
I gave mine away also - but I have two MR-74s...

Happy Listening

  MR 77 is gone, sold, but then destroyed in shipping. I did get a partial reimbursement.
  
  I paid UPS to double box it, but they did only a cursory job, hence the damage.

  that sounds (pun intended) interesting, will give it a try!
