This antenna is fully assembled and ready to mount. Pick a mounting location well away from any
other transmitting antennas. Transmitting signals close to the MFJ-1886TR will damage the internal
amplifier. This antenna can be used indoors if desired. Rotating the antenna by hand is a good way
to null noise or other broadcast stations in the area. Indoor locations tend to have more noise sources
than outdoor locations so keep that in mind if you decide to use the antenna inside.
