In addition to the adapter cable, there is also a selection of antennas.
DCF77 indoor antenna
An indoor antenna can be used in buildings in which there is no source of interference for the
DCF77 signal. It should not be installed in the vicinity of televisions, monitors, thyristor
controls, network cables or fluorescent lights.
DCF77 outdoor antenna for flat roof, wall or mast installation
Whenever possible, a professional radio clock system should use an outdoor antenna. In
contrast to an indoor antenna whose environment can change constantly due to the
technical activity in the building, the conditions for an outdoor antenna are practically
constant. Indirect lightning protection is strongly recommended for an outdoor antenna.
