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

Re: Hey SamA ...

..., perhaps your local translator could get a satellite feed in lieu of its' current terrestrial one. Sac State's hq'ed Capital Public Radio has relay stations ranging from Quincy's KQNC, 88.1 mhz, in NorCal's Northeast corner down to Groveland/Sonora's KXSR, 91.7 mhz, just outside Yosemite! All CPR network stations have satellite feeds. A short while after Grass Valley's KNCO moved from 94.3 mhz to 94.1 mhz back in May of '03, Sactown KPFA listeners banded together & got a cable-access relay of that Berkeley Pacifica outlet. Unfortunately, due to budget constraints, it's a terrestrial feed & thus hampered by KNCO's co-channel interference. 'Tis rumoured KPFA plans to put a 94.1 mhz relay atop Mount Diablo, so as to get regain much of their terrestrial valley audience(which constituted a good percentage of their listener sponsorship). Be it noted, SamA, that station engineers do listen to credible complaints. Told CPR's chief engineer back in Janruary that a Rio Vista station(well within view of KXPR's Walnut Grove transmitter) wuz causing local co-channel interference on its' 88.9 mhz signal. That station wuz off-da-dial from about March onward. Plus, when CPR switched their classical-n-jazz outlets, there was a channel flip-flop betwen KXJZ' 90.9 mhz signal & Stockton's KUOP 91.3 mhz signal. CPR's engineer wasn't aware of that lil technical faux pax, & summarily corrected it.
