Areas in close proximity to strong stations

Extend the supplied 300-ohm twin-lead folded dipole and fix it to a wall or similar, in a position that yields best reception (high- est number of signal strength indicators light up when receiv- ing a desired station).

-Note that gain and directivity of the dipole antenna are low. Often multipath (reflections of broadcast signals by nearby buildings etc.) will occur, which degrades sound quality. Also, heavy traffic, railroads, or high-voltage power lines in the vicinity of the reception location may cause noise interfer- ence. Installation of a 3-element outdoor FM antenna is rec-

ommended in such cases.

Areas with many noise or interference sources

Use shielded coaxial cable (5C-2V or 3C-2V) for the antenna connection.

-A long antenna cable introduces signal loss and is prone to externally induced noise. For optimum performance, you should keep the connection as short as possible.

Fringe areas in considerable distance from stations,

or urban areas with numerous high-rise buildings

Use an outdoor FM antenna with 5 to 8 elements.
