■ FM outdoor antenna
Consult with your dealer or service man about the best
method of selecting and erecting an outdoor FM antenna..
The choice of lead-in (feeder) wire is also important The
flat ribbon-shaped twin lead performs well electrically, is
cheaper and is somewhat easier to handle in routing
through windows and around rooms. Coaxial cable is
more expensive, does a. much better job of minimizing
interference, is less prone to the effects of weather and
close-by metal objects, and is nearly as good a signal
conductor as the ribbon type wire. The latter is particularly
true of foam-type coaxial cables. Coaxial cable is some¬
what more difficult to install at the point where the cable
enters the building.
■ FM outdoor antenna setting
• To minimize au.to-ignition noise, locate the antenna as
far from heavy traffic as possible.
• Keep the feeder or coaxial cable as short as possible.
Do not bundle or roll up excess cable.
• The antenna should be placed at least two meters (6.6
feet) from reinforced concrete walls or metal structures.
■ T-shaped FM indoor antenna
The T-shaped FM antenna shall be used as a preliminary
for the period before a dedicated FM outdoor antenna is
installed.
