Steve....It's not an Integrated, it is a very nice Optonica receiver that is MINT with original manual AND Schematics. Only problem is it sometimes jumps in/out of stereo. Nice sound and a solid 85wpc.
Can you turn the muting off, and what are you using for an antenna? Does it only cut out on one or two signals? How is your antenna oriented in relation to the tall buildings in downtown Calgary?

Do you have a TV amplifier such as a CHANNEL MASTER, JERROLD or I even saw a nice Thomson made RCA once! A nice one with a rating of -22 or better and "90 mi+ urban fringe" VHF antenna should do the trick in your part of Alberta, and you can put it on an A/B swtich or an variable pot if you'd wish. I have 6 sets TV/FM/UHF scanners running at times and right now I wouldn't need cable to get 23 signals on TV alone (7 are digital), including two new in the last three months (!!!KKJB 39 is testing as of this week!!!)

I wish I could go to your place and build you a decent antenna system that doesn't rely on cable TV
