Hi --

Radio: Harman Kardon Home stereo AVR-125
Location: on the edge of what the station shows is there signal area on
their website -- about 40 miles from the station

I get static (very slight but noticeable enough) when listening to Public
Radio. I have the basic two-wire antenna that came with the stereo. I
tried using an AM/FM Amplified Indoor Antenna (from Radio Shack) but that
actually made the static worse no matter how I positioned or set. Please
advice on what I could do. The static is so small you almost can't hear it
but it is just enough to make music programs less than the best they could
be.

Thank you


Well, you're right about the amplified antenna - I've never yet seen
one that didn't amplify the noise just as much as the signal. One can
accomplish the same thing turning up the gain.

If you have a mono/stereo switch (they are a lot less common than
they used to be), switching to mono will probably quiet the signal
nicely - but it's in mono, of course. That's one idea - others may have
more.
