Yes, there is a DC power socket located at the 

back of the antenna. Plug your cable/adapter 

into the antenna and then into your power 

source.

Where should I place the antenna in order to 

get the best reception possible?

Choose a location near a window which gives 

the antenna a clear view of the transmitter.

Note

For best reception, place the antenna away from the 

 

metal surface to avoid interference.

How do I know how much gain (amplification) 

is required to receive a clear picture?

Once you have the VHF dipoles extended to 

the longest length, turn on the amplifier. Turn 

the amplifier up to the max position and then 

reduce as needed. In some case, you need to 

turn the amplifier down to receive a clearer 

picture. 

Can I set up this antenna with a digital tuner?

Yes, this antenna can be set up with a digital 

tuner.

 (see ‘Set up a digital tuner with this
