This page is dedicated to helping Stern fans improve reception, when the station is far away, and the signal weak. I usually respond quickly. There are two important elements to your ''reception potential'', the tuner and the antenna. When looking for a good tuner, be sure to check the ''sensitivity'' specification. Sensitivity is the ability of the tuner to relieve radio signals.
Sensitivity is rated in units of ''dbf'', the lower the number, the better the reception.
There are 3 types of tuners to talk about. The rack system, the car stereo and the portable radio. The best rack system available, in my opinion, is the top of the line tx-950 from Yamaha. In Car Reception. Crutchfield is a great place to look.
