6/15/2023 0 Comments Tuner pioneer tx 408![]() I'm currently using the Sony digital tuner with that attic antenna and am getting audio from my favorite station, 50 miles away, with a signal that is totally free from noise with excellent sound. ![]() A good tuner section or tuner can really make a difference. In my NYC office, it was almost impossible to get good FM reception using any kind of indoor antenna. There is a rabbit ear type FM antenna which can do quite well inside your home as long as it isn't surrounded by stone concrete and rebar. ![]() I once had a high gain yagi antenna (many elements) on my roof giving a strong signal, but it needed a rotor to swing around to favorite stations. So, if you can get your antenna high, that's a good thing. I do have an amplified stand alone FM antenna in my basement and it cannot compare to the attic job. I am using a Radio Shack FM antenna that is a pair of folded dipoles crossing over each other at 90 degrees making it omnidirectional. It is more dependent on line of sight and does not get skip like am radio. I didnt need it but I couldnt pass it up. I recently scored a TX-608 off a Craigslist ad. For some reason, I prefer the TX-608 black face dial over the silver face TX-6800 face dial. In fact, the TX-608 and TX-6800 share the same Pioneer service manual. There are a couple of things to know about FM. The TX-608 is the same tuner as a TX-6800, except that the TX-608 has a black face dial.
