AHA! The rest of the story! Do you have an attic to stick your antenna in? Also, you may want to experiment with pointing your antenna away from the Eiffel tower and try picking up a reflected signal off of another building or a mountain or the Alps or something (kidding about the Alps).Secondly, european FM use preemphasis of highs starting at 50 microseconds, while US stations use 75 microseconds. So, if I remember correctly, your properly working tuner will sound bright. The three options are (1) live with it, (2) use one of those not-wonderful equalizers or (3) replace the right capacitors in the tuner, and then replace them again when you are in the states. That's probably not a bad idea anyway, because the capacitors are undoubtedly ceramic.
Good luck and good listening,

- Demphasis is just that. Remember, they apply pre-emphasis at the transmitter. - Markw* 11:17:19 10/08/06 (0)
