well, Tom, here in the Providence area we have a number of strong FM stations so that really isn't the problem, and I am using the original line cord antenna over my new SPT1 18-2 line cord. I am pretty sure the antenna is not the real problem here. and, as I said, I AM receiving 2 stations weakly but understandably, and three hisses that sound like they want to be stations. I am going to go through the full checkout on the set, and a full alignment. Gotta build some new test cables first. What joy !
