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

RE: FM antenna splitter into "combiner"

How do you know that using just the second antenna won't solve the problem of interruptions?

This link might have useful information on the subject. I have not read it.

I don't think that using the combiner will cause any electrical issues with the Sony tuner. It's providing a 75 ohm load to the tuner. You could use a 4 or 6 way combiner if you wanted but I am not sure what benefit you are going to get. If anything using more antennas might cause sonic issues as you are combining signals that have taken slightly different travel paths.

If it were me I would look up the transmitter location for the station of interest on one of the antenna finder sites and optimize the location of a single antenna before adding an set of them.

While on the topic of the Sony tuner, are you doing anything to address the fact that the unit runs extremely hot?
