AM

outdoor

antenna

;

In

steel

buildings

or

at

a

great

distance

from

the

transmitter,

it

may

be

necessary

to

install

an

outside

long

wire

antenna.

The

end

of

this

wire

should

be

stripped

of

insulation

and

connected

to

the

At

this

time,

keep

the

connected.

FM

antenna

Your

tuner

approaches

the

theoretical

limit

in

FM

sensitivi-

ty.

However,

the

performance

of

your

system

is

determined

to

a

very

large

extent

upon

the

signal

conditions

where

the

antenna

is

placed.

The

reason

is

that

FM

broadcast

signals

travel

in

straight

paths.

Therefore

they

can.be

blocked

by

natural

or

man-made

obstructions

such

as

mountains,

hills

or

buildings.

At

large

distances

from

the

transmitter

the

curvature

of

the

earth

acts

as

a

screen

between

the

transmitter

and

receiver.

Consider

the

signal

conditions

in

planning

your

installation.

lf

you

live

in

or

near

an

urban

area

the

indoor

antenna

(supplied)

may

serve

your

needs

adequately.

However,

if

desired

stations

are

The

of

lead-in

(feeder)

wire

is

also

important.

The

twin

lead

performs

well

electrically,

cheaper

and

is

somewhat

easier

more

a

much

better

job

of

minimizing

is

less

prone

to

the

effects

of

weather

and

close-by

metal

objects,

and

is

nearly

as

good

a

signal

conductor

as

the

ribbon

type

wire.

The

latter

is

particularly

true

of

foam-type

coaxial

cables.

Coaxial

cable

is

somewhat

more

difficult

to

install

at

the

point

where

the

cable

enters

If

is

selected,

make

sure

the

is

designed

to

drive

that

type

of

cable.

@

To

minimize

noise,

locate

the

as

from

as

possible.

@

Keep

the

feeder

as

as

Do
