How deep can one go with FM signal analysis? I'm interested in what instruments people are using to analyze their FM signals. Here in Westchester County just north of New York City we have a few good stations. I use a Winegard FM antenna and rotator with remote control. I want to analyze the signal as the rotator turns to find the best degree for rotator setting.

One of my recipients with whom I correspond about FM advised me to use this devise.

I personally do not feel that it is necessary. A good antenna, a good tuner and a pair of ears is all that is necessary. I might be wrong though. BTW, the distortions and problems that A/D process brings are much lower than FM. So, you might analyze not FM but the recorded file and make judgment about the FM reception based upon it.
