Hope all had a nice holiday weekend. I get lousy FM reception in my area. Just a couple of stations and they are somewhat fuzzy. My 46-480 picks up several stations with the antenna I made but I have to turn the volume all the way up to barely hear anything. AM stations are just fine. Can anyone shed some light on the FM? I have a modern radio that picks up the same stations but I get plenty of volume from that radio. Thanks!
