Testing Antenna Signal Strength

The stronger the signal strength, the less likely it
is that you will experience an interruption of the
audio. In the menu options of the Receiver (refer
to page 25), there is an antenna aiming display
which shows two bar graphs indicating signal
route the
strength. This can be a useful tool for positioning
the antenna in an optimal location for maximum
signal reception.
