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

RE: KBAQ Phoenix - is noise due to IBOC from HD Radio?

Hi, thanks for the suggestions. I'm using an "outdoor" antenna about six feet long mounted in my attic. According to fmfool.com, both stations are transmitting from a location almost due west from me. KBAQ is 16 kW; KJZZ is 100 kW. Both are 12 miles from my home. I don't have an absolute signal strength number at my tuner; I think both stations light up all the signal-strength LEDs on my MX-130. KBAQ has three HD transmissions; KJZZ has 2.

Dynamic range is critical on classical music! For comparison I will again check out KFLR which is broadcasting with only 5 kW from the same location.

Thanks!
