strong signals)
@ Feeder antenna
The
feeder
antenna
which
is included
with
this
unit
is
provided so that you can
use it to receive
FM
broadcasts
temporarily until
a special antenna exclusively for recep-
tion of FM
broadcasts
can
be installed.

@ A place far from the broadcasting station where
signals are weak and reception is difficult
(such as near mountains or similar obstacles)
in such
a location
as
described
above,
an
FM
antenna
consisting
of 5 elements
or more
should
be installed.
In
general,
the more
elements
which
the antenna
has, the
better will be its directional characteristics. It is suggested,
therefore, that the weaker the signal reception in your area,
the more
elements
the antenna
should have
in order
to
obtain good reception.

in order to obtain the finest performance from this unit, it is
recommended
that
coaxial
cable
be
used
rather
than

Connections can be made, as shown in figure 7, by using
300-ohm
parallel
feeder
wire.
When
this
connection
is
made, the wire between this unit and the antenna should be
as short as possible.

that
