Does your MD have dual antenna inputs? I have two on my tuner and run one omnidirectional, and one multi-element directional antenna to my unfinished attic. I point the directional antenna towards my most used tower(s) and switch to unidirectional for others. That way I don't have to mess with using a rotor and fine tuning for all station changes. Just a thought...
the Etude doesn't have two inputs, but you could install an economical external coaxial switch to select from between the Yagi & the uni antennas.
1. look in the yellow pages for an antenna installer. Tell him you want the best possible FM performance for under $250.
2. Contact www.aps.com and see what they recommend. Then contact your local installer.

I had a antenna signal problem when I connected my Creek T43 to cable broadband FM radio socket. Symptom was the tuner automatically toggling between stereo/mono; extremely irritable when it happened.

Someone recommended and gave me to read "Nippon Antenna Co. Ltd Model W-3500i TV Indoor Booster" specification.

In short the booster provides a signal gain of 26~36 dB from 45~890MHz frequency band. It boosts signal off any outdoor VHF/UHF or MATV antenna or repeater amplifier to two outputs if required. FM radio is 88~108MHz, but somehow the Japan manufacturer forgot to mention "FM radio" in the product title, it didn't worry me so much. So I went ahead bought it and the result was fantastic for a small sum. Goodbye to tinny-weeny FM sound!! Price paid in my country is about eqv $60-80 self collect. It came with great installation literature and the components quality is very good and solid for the price, in a black plastic box. Power is selectable for 127v/220v.

I think the maker has a website under its company name.
Happy hunting.
