During daytime the reception can be broken and very noisy. I have to rotate the Terk a lot and try to move it up and down to find that fine line.
At night, most stations are very clear and strong.
I think there are many illegal RF activities during the day
That frequencies are so close to radio stations. Or many electronics operating in huge office buildings interfere
With FM signal I don’t know.

But consider I spent plenty on cables that later I didn’t like and not use them anymore. Why not give 200$ ST-2 a try, if it create reception anomalies such as multi-path,or etc.. just disconnect it and leave it, much less damage than unhappy cables for sure.
