	A few weeks ago I posted an inquiry asking about whether I could
expect an FM tuner to help me get around the problems of trying to receive
decent FM, even though I live next to the Colorado front range, and reception
is horrible.  I wish to thank the 10-15 people who responded.  Basically,
I got two useful pieces of info:

	- A number of people told me to make sure that I was getting the best
	  signal into my present tuner before spending lots of money on a new
	  tuner.  TV antennas and signal boosters came up often.  I will 
	  certainly try this first.
	
	- Many people recommended the Carver TX-11 tuner, making such strong
	  claims that I began to wonder if they were going to try to sell me
	  one... :-)  But seriously, that is the only name that came up, and
	  I got at least 5 recommendations.  It seems pretty clear that if one
	  does decide to buy a tuner, the Carver is the way to go.

Again, thanks for your replies.
