[QUOTE="Steerpike, post: 75789, member: 807"] You will find a BIG difference in performance between an old bit of wire and a real 75ohm coax cable connected to a roof-mounted Yagi. Even if you are a handful of kilometres from the transmitter. That Kenwood should be capable of really quiet and low distortion reception if it gets a good antenna. A TV antenna is the wrong size for FM Band 2 (the dipole needs to be 1.5m tip-to-tip). Even Band 3 TV antennas (code blue) don't come close - it will work for rudimentary testing though. A brand new 3 element Yagi is only about R150.00, excluding pole/bracket. [/QUOTE]
