    Looking for a AM antenna holder for my 2285BD. Spare or 3D printed (or 3D file)

    Hi, I am one of the lucky people to have a good working 2285BD, but during moving the holder for my AM antenna broke I've seen a few online and ordered one, accidentally from a Russian site and had to cancel my card. Does anyone know where I can find one? I live in Colombia, but can use a...

    Extra long basic FM T Shaped Dipole Antenna?

    I bought this for my vintage receiver: Works great, but I have it pinned to the back of my stereo cabinet. I want to get a longer one so I can tape it to a big window nearby. I know I'll probably get minimal increase in reception but I figured why not. Problem is I can only find them with a...

    Indoor antenna suggestions

    I am trying to get an appropriate antenna for a McIntosh tuner for my mother. The connections are these: Since I need to start cheap and move up if things don't work out, I'm trying to go with an indoor antenna. My later father had rigged up something inside with a wire antenna at one point...

    Increasing The Length Of Wireless Mic Receiving Antenna

    We are using two old KAM wireless UHF Mics in a small hall (Model KWM1932 or KMW1940). Generally they work reasonably well. However when the hall is full, or people get in the way, then we experience dropouts in the signal from time to time which is anoying. The usual tricks are to make sure...

    Coax For Whole House FM Antenna

    We relocated from the megaplex to a rural area. Now I need an outdoor roof mount antenna for better FM stereo reception. Which coax is recommended? RG6 or something else? I plan to have coax run to 4 rooms. One of the locations is the basement. Are there any length of coax run concerns...

    Antenna doesn't help

    I recently purchased a Denon DRA-400 receiver to use in my basement. The tuner does a fair job pulling in local stations. However, when I connect an antenna to the unit, it makes absolutely no difference. I have tried multiple antennas, but the unit seems to be ignoring the input. I have even...

    FM Antenna Improvement for Receiver

    I’d like to improve the quality of my FM antenna and am struggling to research exactly what I need. I have a Sony STR-DH770 receiver. The manual calls the antenna type an “aerial” antenna (single wire). It gets decent reception, but never for all the stations at once. I have to move it around...

    Kenwood KA-7500 Questions

    I recently picked up a near mint KA-7500. This one has had all caps replaced, opamp replaced with a modern socketed version, 25/75uS switch bypass, and rerouting AC off the main board, among other mods and updates. I'm really impressed with the sound; I don't recall FM sounding this good! I...

    I could use some expert help on a 2250B that's not getting AM or FM

    I'd love a good troubleshooting strategy from a pro (I'm quite new to all of this) on how to narrow down why I'm getting zero reception, am or fm. Biggest clue I suppose is that neither light is on for "signal strength" or "tuning". Since all the other bulbs near there are working (including the...

    Antenna for vintage Onkyo

    I have a great onkyo tx-2500 but my FM reception isn’t the best. (There’s a low power local indie station I can’t pick up, and a few stations that come through and sound good but not at high enough signal to engage the FM lock when it’s on.) The antenna hookup on the back is a twin lead binding...

    Antenna advice, Marantz 2215B

    Have this unit, substantially restored, sounds lovely. But I don't get much tuner reception, FM or AM, despite being in an urban area. Have the usual loop antenna. Any suggestions for a better antenna (not excluding an outdoor one)?

    Marantz 2215b questions

    Just acquired a recapped, re-fused and generally restored unit. Sounds great. Couple questions: 1) I’m using a cheap loop fm antenna which I suspect could be improved upon. Recommendations? And is it recommended to use the 75 rather than 300 ohm antenna input? 2) Thoughts on using the tape...

    Proton 300 Antenna Question(s)

    Does anyone know these antenna answers about the Proton 300: a) SWITCH? Does it have a switch for external antenna (can't find one but my Sangean WR11 does but honestly performs better with internal antenna) b) GYRO: There seems to be a gyroscopic antenna attached (I think - it looks like a...

    Radio Reception

    Quick questions: Why does the radio tuner in the car parked in the driveway pick up more stations and has better signal strength than my stereo receiver which is only a few yards away? Is the antenna for the car that much better than the one paired with my stereo receiver?

    First time using a vintage tuner - Kenwood KT-5300 - issues?

    Hi Everyone, I've had a KT-5300 on my shelf for about a year, and I thought that I wasn't getting signal because I didn't have an external antenna. I purchased a wire antenna and it made no significant difference. There is maybe one or two channels on FM that I get reasonable signal from (still...

    As stated, I can't get my 2220B to play in stereo when listening to FM.. Is this a common thing? Maybe.i'm just dumb about antennas. Or is the whole thing whacked and I need a tech?
