SERVICE
CONSI
DERATIONS
The Receiver
will
operate on either
120 Vac or 24O Vac, but
it must be wired
specifically
for
the voltage to be used.
Full
instructions
are included in
"Step-by-Step
Assembly."
ANTENNA INSTALLATION
The Receiver must have an antenna connected
for
proper
shortwave reception. The built-in
antenna
is for broadcast
reception
only.
For
general
broadcast and shortwave listening, a long-wire
outside
antenna is suggested.
A
typical longwire
antenna
installation is shown in
Figure
3. The length of
the antenna
wire may be from 50 to 100
feet
long.
The lead-in wire
should be attached and soldered to one end of the antenna.
The
other end of the lead-in wire is connected to
the ANT
terminal on the rear of the Receiver.
Generally, the higher
the
antenna the better the
reception"
A
tree or
pole
may be used as one support and
your
houseas
the other
support.
Insulators must
be
used at each
end of
the
antenna
to
separate
the antenna wire
from
the support
wire.
The
GND terminal on the
rear
of
the Receiver should
be
grounded
to a water
pipe
or to
a 6
or 8
foot long
ground
rod
driven into the earth.

A dipole antenna may
be
used for
optimum
reception on the
shortwave band. This type of antenna is
directional
and is
designed
to
receive
a
narrow band of the shortwave
frequencies.
lt is
suggested
you
check an
ARRL
Handbook*
or an
Antenna
Flandbook for
the
proper
dipole antenna
length needed for
the shortwave
frequencies
of interest.
The two
lead-in wires
from
a dipole antenna should
be
connected to
the ANT and GND terminals on
the rear of the
Receiver.
