Mac TM1 tuner module AM question

Hey guys,

Not sure if I'm in the right area of the forum ( ie: tuners ).

After hooking up the antenna for AM I couldn't get WFAN 660 am which has an Astoria N.Y.address. Not sure where the towers are.

I can get it in my truck in the driveway, but that's outdoors as we know.

I only moved the antenna box around about 10 feet, but not even a sniff.

I'm in N. Central Massachusetts in Fitchburg, about 204 miles away from the station address.

I notice there is a trim pot for 600 hz on the antenna box, is it something that can and should be tweaked to try and get this station?

thanks

You can try adjusting the trim pot, I would make a "mental note" of how much you turn that pot either clockwise or counter clockwise from it's original position, so you can go back to the "original setting" if it doesn't have a positive effect. A couple of other items worth checking: make sure you have the plug into the RAA1 oriented correctly, so that the red wire goes to the TV, black wire goes to RF, and green goes to GND (it's possible to plug it in 180 degrees backwards..also make sure that the 3 wires are securely fastened into the plug, there are small set screws on the plug for this.
Good luck.
