You can directly connect the Twin Coil Ferrite AM Antenna by
C.Crane to a home stereo by connecting the 1/8" Mono x RCA con-
trol patchcord to the RCA x two wire patchcord, as shown below left.
You can then attach one wire to the GROUND and one wire to the
AM terminal on the back of the receiver, as shown below right. Most
of the time you will find spring clips or screw terminals. It will not
matter which wire you connect to which terminal.
Next, plug the other end into the jack labeled To Radio on the
TUNER CONTROL. If you want to experiment or if your receiver
does not have antenna terminals, you can also use the FERRITE
STICK on whatever “loop” or “loopstick antenna” that was supplied
with the receiver.
1. Tune your radio to any weak AM frequency. It is important that
the station be weak so you can clearly detect the improvement in
reception.
2. Rotate the FINE TUNE control, it will click on and the red LED
light indicator will come on. Turn the COARSE TUNE control knob
slowly and you will likely notice a change in reception at some
point on the
dial. Turn the
COARSE TUNE
control until you notice
the most signal improvement.
3. Adjust the FINE TUNE control for the best reception possible.
4. Now orientate the ANTENNA ELEMENT for best reception. In
most cases, the ELEMENT does not have to be adjusted again.
After you have found the best spot for the TUNER CONTROL and
ANTENNA ELEMENT you can take the time to secure and make
permanent the installation to your liking.
