The preamp that you have is equipped with 2 FM filters. One is most effective above 95 MHz, the other is tunable to eliminate a single station low in the band. With two stations low in the band you can pick which one to trap out, but that leaves one strong FM station to overload the preamp. You could add a second tunable trap, the FT-7600, tuned to the second FM station, use a HLSJ to eliminate all FM, or replace the stacker with an antenna system designed for channels 7-69.
To tune the trap in the AP-8700, connect an antenna indoors (Could be the stacker, or a simple FM dipole.) to the AP-8700 when it is located in a place where you can look at the signal strength of an FM station using the signal strength meter on your FM tuner. Adjust the screwdriver slot for minimum signal. After that you can place the preamp at the stacker antenna.
