More Info
|
Ideal for boosting AM radio reception in brick, stucco, or metal-sided homes, the Twin Coil Ferrite AM Antenna works with any radio, from portables to home stereos. Its wireless ferrite stick works on radios without antenna connectors, while the typical wire patch cord functions with radios' antenna connectors.
Several connectors are included with the Twin Coil Ferrite AM Antenna to attach it to your stereo or portable radio. Manipulate the controls on the tuner to locate a station, adjusting first the coarse and then the fine-tune control to gain the most improvement on the signal. Aid the controls using the ferrite stick, moving it around the radio to find the position that affects the signal the most. 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.
The Twin Coil Ferrite AM Antenna can be mounted outdoors in a sheltered area, but generally you will only need to mount the antenna outdoors if radio noise and static reduce reception indoors. If radio noise is present, many times grounding the antenna element will reduce it significantly.
