FM

antennas

Your unit approaches the thereotical limit in FM sensitivity.

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 buildings.

such as

mountains,

hills,

or

At large distances from the transmitter the cur vature oÍ the earth acts as a screen between 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 favorite stations are weak due to natural obstructions, or if you live in a building which is made of steel-reinforced concrete (which acts as a shield) it may be necessary to install a good outdoor antenna.

FM outdoor

antenna

Consult with your dealer

or

service man about the best method of selecting and erecting an outdoor FM antenna.

The choice oÍ lead-in (Íeeder) wire is also important. The Ílat ribbon-shaped twin lead perÍorms well electrically, is cheaper and is somewhat easier to handle in routing through windows and around rooms. Coaxial cable is more expensive, does a much better job of minimizing interference, is less prone to the eÍfects 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
