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

we need to find what the RF noise source/s is/are

If they are wide-band source/s, and close, we are in some trouble.

OTOH a/several powerful nearby 'discrete bandwidth' source/s - that are actually OutOfBand - can / might be causing RF overload somewhere in the RF stage / front end - which appears as audio hash.

This seems a likely cause to me as this - OOB RF-overload rejection - is one thing only a few SS FM tuners are good at. While few valve FM RF stages are poor at it.

Filtering or cut-to-frequency yagis connected OOP may help cancel its effects.

If slight OOB RF overload IS the case, maybe an FM techie nearby knows about it and can address it.

? IYTMM!
