ANTENNA

CONNECTIONS

Radio

reception

is

not

possible

unless

the

antenna

is

properly

connected.

The

strength

of

broadcast

signals

varies

from

one

area

to

another

(signal

propagation

is

especially

poor

in

metropol-

itan

areas,

where

there

are

many

tall

buildings,

and

in

mountainous

areas).

Proper

antenna

installation

is

vital

to

good

reception.

AM

ANTENNA

The

AM

loop

antenna

supplied

with

the

tuner

should

be

connected

to

the

terminals.

The

antenna

should

be

placed

at

a

distance

from

the

tuner,

and

should

not

be

allowed

to

touch

metallic

objects.

Avoid
