First x post here; I usually hang out over in vinyl. While scrounging LPs at our local Salvation Army, I couldn't resist a very nice-looking Kenwood KT-815 for $12. I have only 2 stations in my area I'm really interested in hearing, NPR and a classical station, both low on the dial. It sounds good but I'd be interested in a little better performance. My questions -1) Is the KT-815 worth modding? If so, what mods are worth doing before a better tuner is a better idea?
2) Is a co-axial or dipole antenna a better idea? Any specific model? I live in a suburban area about 20 miles from the stations mentioned above.
3) Any other recommendations?
I appreciate your time and knowledge. Thanks.

- well, one mile at 20 miles distence doesn't subtend very much, so ONE antenna may be just fine - Timbo in Oz 00:07:48 01/11/07 (1)
- given that both are in low bandII a stacked pair of DIY low band 3 element yagis may be even better. - Timbo in Oz 00:16:21 01/11/07 (0)
