Well it is more likely, as I did point out a few times in my post.
a) Omni antennas have very little gain, none compared to a dipole. So on many stations there may be noise. They have very little gain because they are not directional.
b) Which your unused Yagi is. Did it have a rotator or not, and why in either case?
c) there is clearly something wrong with your 'FM reception and replay system'
d) There is a particular feature of the MX118 most of the components in it are socketed as in multi-contact sockets. Dry-contact sockets.
Given that you are away, wait until you come back and use the last thread up top, okay? ;-)!
