Product Description
The finest FM tuner in the world won't perform much better than a mediocre component if you don't have it connected to a quality antenna. Don't starve your tuner for signals. Feed it the RF nourishment it needs with the Magnum Dynalab ST-2. It brings out the best in any quality tuner or receiver. "Even indoors, it worked very well," reports Paul Schumann in SoundStage! magazine online. This powerful single element dipole FM antenna is the best affordably priced indoor/outdoor antenna we've tested! The 54" long Magnum Dynalab ST-2 is omnidirectional. It improves reception in both urban and rural areas and works when placed vertically or horizontally. The 1/2 wave length ST-2 is weather-sealed and offers 2.5 dB of signal gain. Comes with "L" mounting bracket and 24 ft of cable. The ST-2 antenna combines excellent bandwidth and a slight amount of gain to ensure that whether your setting is rural or urban, there will be a marked improvement in performance when it is used. In urban settings, this antenna will do fine indoors or outside, however, if you are living in a rural area, or below sea level with large hills or mountains surrounding you will notice improved performance if you mount the antenna outdoors or at the highest point on the building where it will be used.

I've been on a long quest to find an antenna that would bring in my favorite FM station, 60 miles away. I live in hilly, rural country -- but I'm on top of one of those hills. The simple dipole that came with my receiver didn't receive this station at all. I then tried several amplified antennas that sit table-top. One of them got me very fuzzy reception. I then tried the Terk FM-50, exterior-mounted on the side of my house. It was gave me reception, though with considerable static, even after experimenting with different locations, positions. Then I bought the Magnum Dynalab ST-2 -- by a factor of 2X, the most expensive option I tried. I mounted it on the best wall (after experimenting with different locations) inside my garage. It received this desired station better than any of the previous options I tried, but with some low-level, background static. [Eventually, I tried an omnidirectional Weingard HD-6010 (ca. $25, including mounting bracket) -- mast-mounted (short length of pipe) from the high ceiling inside my garage. Great reception; no static.] This Magnum Dynalab might work better for you than it did for me, but based on my experience, I'd recommend a simple omnidirectional mast-mount.
More than Excellent...!!! July 4, 2010

I'm living in an apartman flat in an urban area and I'm a good radio listener. I used many top model modern and vintage fm tuners from well reputaded manufacturers until now. Then finally I got magnum dynalab MD-90T triod tube fm tuner and I see that it's a real engineering marvel. But as a tuner it's reception sometimes naturally was affected by weather conditions. Then I decided to try MD's indoor/outdoor fm antenna ST-2. I was planning to put in balcony but its performance is so perfect even when placed indoor, I haven't changed its position in my room.
Wheather it's a distant or local station, its reception now incredibly perfect and I'm really more than happy.
Of course it's a little bit expensive but If you can afford, you'll be not disappointed.
