ANTENNA AND
GROUND CONNECTIONS
FM ANTENNA
FM
broadcast signals are attenuated somewhat by mountains,
buildings, and other obstacles. Therefore, even
if
a
station
is
nearby,
a
high gain
antenna may be required. Select
the
antenna
in
accordance
with
the following:
.
If
the
receiver is
to
be located
in
a wooden building
and
stations are nearby, use the T-type antenna which
comes
with
the
QX-8000.
As
shown
in
Fig.
5,
connect
the
feeder terminals
of
the
antenna
to
the FM
antenna
terminals. Stretch out the antenna proper
and secure
it
to
the
ceiling
or a
wall
in
such
a
manner
that pickup
is
optimum,
as
determined by listening to the stations to
be
received. Refer
to "FM RECEPTION"on
pagell.
. If
orientation
of
the T-type
antenna does
not
eliminate
background noise, connect
an outdoor
antenna
to
the
antenna terminals
as
shown
in
Fig.
6. In
lieu of
a special
antenna,
a
combination FM/TV antenna may
be
used.
NOTES: '
A
number
of
FM
antennas are available. Consult
your
sales dealer
for
selection.
' ln
locations
adjacent
to
heavily traveled streets,
around
factories,
or
near high-voltage
power
transmission lines, use oJ
an
FM
antenna
may not give the
desired noise
attenuation. ln
such
cases,
consult
you
sales
dealer concerning a coax cable
feed (75 -
ohm)
for
the
FM antenna. When coax cable
is
used, make connections
to
the
OX-8OOO as
shown
in
Fig. 7.
AM
ANTENNA
.
Refer
to "AM RECEPTION"
page12.
With
an
AM station
tuned
in,
position
the ferrite
antenna
for
optimum
pickup.
See
Fig.
8.
.
When positioning
of
the ferrite
antenna does
not
yield
satisfying results, stretch
out the
accessory
AM
lead
antenna
and connect
it
to
the AM antenna terminal with
the split lug. Keep the other end of
the
antenna
lead
as
high
as
possible.
. If
use
of
the
accessory
lead antenna does
not
give
satisfying results, erect an outdoor antenna and connect
it
as
shown
in
Fig. 6. Special construction
is
not
required:
Vinyl-insulated wire may be stretched between two
masts
or other supports.
GROUNDING
.
A
ground lead may not
be
necessary
for
reception. Still,
when thinking about safety and elimination of noise,
one
should be used.
