I added combination radio cassette player this winter and I was having problems getting AM reception and therefore radio broadcasts for the Mariners games. This was a big problem for my first mate so I started looking into antenna options to boost signal reception.

This weekend I added a splitter (West 247413) which separates the VHF, AM, and FM frequencies provided by my existing mast-top whip antenna. Following a five minute installation, my radio AM signal improved 100%.

did it improve your FM too?

What kind did you get? I'm thinking of getting one too

This would have been a good question for the general discussion list.

Thanks

Before adding the splitter I had no AM and sketchy FM.

After adding it I get excellent reception on both AM and FM.
