Home Radio Road

Which tuner to get and getting the most from it. Thank God, for the radio!

Bre careful of those "big" Radio Shack yagis.

IIRC, they only sell that one FM ONLY yagi, and it's a good one within it's design limits.

Those bigger yagi's tend to be all-in-one units designed mainly for for VHF/UHF TV. Virtually all of the elements are tuned for those frequencies but they throw in a token element for FM. It's a nice feature and handy, fer sure, but it's not the same as a dedicated FM antenna.

If you want OTA VHF/UHF TV, fine, these are a great way to go, but just be aware that that little yagi you're looking at will actually pick up FM better than those big, impressive looking combo units.
