Which tuner to get and getting the most from it. Thank God, for the radio!

RE: Ceramic IF Filters and Tube Type Tuners

An all out, "balls to the wall", hotrod was done to the FM3 by the late John ("Buddha") Camille. Contact AA sponsor Bottlehead Corp. to get a copy of the writeup.

AVA published an article on the "care and feeding" of FM3s a while ago. I've provided a link below to the article.

BTW, have you considered a highly directional rhombic antenna, with "legs" sized at 2X the wavelength of interest? Such an antenna needs lots of room, but it would go a long way towards overcoming the sensitivity limitations of the FM3.
