The AM loop may be conveniently tacked
behind the stereo equipment cabinet, or
stretched along the floor or baseboard. The
loop should be spaced as wide apart as
possible.
AM OUTDOOR ANTENNA
3 0 0 OHM INDOOR
DIPOLE FM ANTENNA
For best long distance AM reception, use a
copper antenna wire 50 to 150 feet in length.
Suspend the wire in a straight line as high as
possible. Attach the wire at each end with
suitable glass or ceramic insulators. Connect
a lead-in wire at any convenient point on the
antenna. (See Figure 12.) It is recommended
that a lightning arrester be used with an out-
door AM antenna. The arrester should be
well grounded to a suitable water pipe or
copper or aluminum rod sunk into the ground.
Connect the lead-in wire to the HI ter-
minal on the AM ANTENNA terminal strip on
the MR66 back panel. Leave the metal link in
place between the LO and GND terminals.
Set the AM ANTENNA Slide Switch on the
MR66 back panel to the ANT position.
and may have to be positioned in a particular
location for best reception of the desired
stations. The dipole may be carefully tacked
or taped into position.
IMPORTANT
Keep the dipole away from large
metal objects or surfaces since
they may interfere with the effi-
ciency of the antenna.
FM OUTDOOR ANTENNA
An outdoor FM antenna is always recom-
mended for best FM reception under all con-
ditions. In fringe or outlying areas, a highly
directional FM antenna used in conjunction
with a rotator will give the finest possible FM
reception. Rotate the antenna until it points
toward the station or receives the best pos-
sible signal.
INDOOR FLEXIBLE FM DIPOLE
The convenient flexible indoor dipole
(300 ohm) antenna is supplied with the MR66
tuner. This antenna is suitable for FM recep-
tion in urban or high-intensity signal areas.
Connect the two leads of the dipole an-
tenna to the two terminals marked FM ANT
on the MR66 back panel. (See. Figure 12.)
The flexibility of the thin flat wire allows the
dipole to be easily located behind the equip-
ment enclosure or in any convenient position
near the tuner. Open the dipole into a " T "
and extend the arms as straight as possible.
The dipole antenna is somewhat directional
