This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor
FM antenna and AM loop antenna, and how to connect
commercially available outdoor
FM and AM antennas.
The receiver
won't pick up any radio signals without any
antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna to
use the tuner.
The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor
FM antenna, try a commercially available
outdoor FM antenna instead (see page 14).
