FM signals are directional. Properly receiving them takes choosing the correct antenna and getting it oriented, for the desired station. info: https://www.gcaudio.com/tips-tricks/fm-antennas/ Omnis can work well, for receiving multiple stations, without rotating/reorienting. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=omni+fm+antenna&crid=17ENAFJ9N3O88&sprefix=omni+fm+%2Caps%2C168&a... Note what the Galen Carol article mentions about urban environments and multipath garbage (under 'Indoor FM Antennas'). It's possible that your new tuner doesn't have as good selectivity, as the Fisher (if your using the same antenna). https://www.electronics-notes.com/articles/radio/radio-receiver-selectivity/basics.php
Suggestions Please . . Picky Tuner
I just bought a Parasound t3 tuner to replace a 40 year old Fisher tuner. The sound is improved but there is a curious problem: I have it connected to an attic mounted antenna via coax and it pulls in distant FM stations (50-60 miles away) but struggles to bring in some local stations. For those, there are static sounds and fading in and out. I would think the opposite would occur — get the local stations but not the more distant, as it was with the Fisher. Do you think the tuner needs to be cleaned or is there some other problem? Otherwise, I really like the Parasound and just want to get the local stations clearly as well.
