Best Roof Mounted FM Antenna


I am considering buying a Ron Smith Aerials outdoor antenna and heard that they are the best on the market. Is this a good choice? Since this is directional, would it be necessary to use a rotor? Thanks.

It depends on your situation. This is not voodoo; choice of antenna depends on well-known engineering. I use a directional Yagi with a rotor that is FM only for MY PARTICULAR APPLICATION. It is made by channel master and OEMed by several companies including Magnum. My specialist installer - who did not sell me the antenna - warned against amplifiers - they amplify signal, noise, multipath, and so on. There was good information on the Fanfare web site. You might start there or give them a call. A longer discussion goes beyond the scope of my reply. Just remember that quieting is often logarithmic - not linear - and a 3 db clean signal gain can give a VAST improvement in signal quality and musical enjoyment, all other things being equal. Can you give us more information about your locale, tuner, etc?
My mistake - the rotor is channel master and the antenna is antenna specialities.
