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

Re: FM Signal Strength

One of the two cables may have more or less plumbing, heating or AC ductwork, or electrical wiring in the vacinity of the cable or have a somewhat differing mechanical/electrical connection continuity at the antenna. Two cables connected to the same antenna w/o a splitter is not a good idea as the un-used cable then becomes a feed-line tuning stub that is not ideally tuned. Likely if you measured resistance between conductors they will also be different @ each termination. Solution is to run a single antenna feed to just one of the rooms, & add a room-to-room cable run for the other room which may then be splice-connected to the antenna feed when desired (IOW not both rooms at the same time w/o a splitter).
