If after thorough testing, you find the
ANTENNA ELEMENT must be mounted
outdoors for best reception, you may
order additional cable in 25' or 50'
lengths (refer to the inside cover for
optional accessories). Generally, you will
only need to mount the antenna
outdoors if radio noise and static reduce
reception indoors.
When planning your remote installation
try not to make vertical runs with the long cables. If the cable is
vertical, it will pick up more radio noise than if you run it horizontally
because most radio noise is vertically polarized. You can run a
cable up to 75' by using a special order cable coupler (refer to the
inside cover for optional accessories). At 100' you will experience
about a 25% loss in the performance.
Always mount the ANTENNA ELEMENT in a sheltered area to
protect it from water. Two mounting holes are provided on the back
to help install the unit. Refer to page 10 for important information
regarding Outdoor Installation Precautions.
Occasionally a home receiver will
include a loop type antenna. You can
use the FERRITE STICK in conjunction
with a loop, as shown at right. Move the
FERRITE STICK around until you find
the “sweet spot” that works best.
Some older receivers have a ferrite stick
similar to the one we provide. In this
case, for best reception, put them
parallel to each other and find the
“sweet spot”.
In either case, you can use the hook and loop fastener to keep the
FERRITE STICK in place.
