Re: Outside antenna for HD radio?

[nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Dave Houston)]

According to the documentation, the supplied antenna is for AM not FM. FM
uses about a 3-foot folded dipole. FM antennas, either turnstile
(omnidirectional) or Yagi (unidirectional) are fairly easy to find. The unit
has a 75-ohm F-connector.
