ST2S SETUP AND CONNECTIONS

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS

AM Antenna

Connect the included loop antenna for AM recep- tion to the back panel, attaching the GND (ground) and AM ends to the appropriate con- nections for Tuner 2.

It is recommended to use an external outdoor or attic-mounted long wire antenna for best per- formance for AM reception. Use a 75-ohm to 300-ohm balun at the AM connection on the tuner, and attach the 75-ohm coax cable to the balun.

FM Antenna

Attach the included FM antenna to the Tuner 2 FM COAX connection on the back panel by push- ing the F-type quick-connect termination of the antenna onto the FM connection.

It is recommended to use an external outdoor or attic-mounted long wire antenna for best per- formance for FM reception. Attach the desired length of 75-ohm coax cable directly to the FM connection on the tuner.
