Hi Ron,
I have both the factory Dipole antenna and an FM antenna in the attic attached to a rotor and fed via coax. There was no improvement with the hum (sounds like 60 cycle hum, not too loud, but annoying) using the attic antenna. I am considering moving the console (ugh!) across the house to another room to see if there is improvement. There might be interference from something in the house next door, or something in my house that I overlooked......
Thanks for the thoughts.
BTW, I did bring a portable radio into the room and there was no hum from that in the FM band between 90 and 94 on the dial.
