If you have one of the McIntosh tuners with the "TP1" and "TP2" RCA sockets, connect them to your dual-trace scope to see all sorts of info on your signal, including relative signal strength, multipath, etc.

Sold my MR77 last year. It never really did for me what I had hoped. Perhaps because I never used a good directional FM antenna with it.

Now I have a yagi that is providing much better signal to my tuners than the omni ever did. The yagi is on the 2nd floor porch sitting on boxes. I can get away with that now since I gave the wifey the heave-ho :)

And I use manual antenna direction rotation when neccessary.

  The Hitachi FT-007 has an excellent digital signal-strength meter, displaying the strength on the tuned frequency in dB. Every tuner should have that feature! I have one station that is noisy on most tuners because the HD radio broadcast causes IBOC noise. The Hitachi is very quiet on my HD problem station.
