MR 74 here-
(Actually 2, and 1 MR 77)
Antenna is the next most important part-
Happy Listening

Possibly more important.

Because it depends where on the compass the 'desired stations' are, and how far away.
It continues to amaze me how few people get that.

It's science. I'm with you in being amazed at those who won't understand that.
"Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be. 'Cause now I'm an amputee" J. Lennon
After months of trying different antennas, I have come to the conclusion the antenna plays a BIG part it how your tuner sounds. You can have a nice tuner but a very good antenna will raise the level of performance on the tuner. I can hear differences on stations that have good signal readings and slight rotor movement changes it from good sound to something really nice.
The Rhombic would be the best choice IF you have the space for it. I'm still thinking of a way to get mine back up high enough with a rotor to be able to get great reception and good stability that the antenna is mounted on. Even with it at a not so good height I was still pulling in stations from LA when I last had it up.
Can't wait to get that MR-80 and start with some upgrades!
I have been reading and what I see most is the power supply caps failures. That will be the first thing I hit.
