Connect a good quality RG-6 coaxial cable to the transformer. Slide the
weatherproof boot over the connection firmly until it seals (fig. 7) (Cable sold
separately)
8. Attach cable standoff to mast as shown in figure 8 (included in SDV9201K
only)
Aiming the Antenna
Before permanently mounting the antenna for digital television (DTV) reception
it is a good idea to perform a quick sight survey to find the spot with the best
signal. Moving the antenna one way or another just a few feet can make a
tremendous difference in the success of the antenna installation.

Overview
DTV is a little different than analog TV.With analog TV peak signal strength was
the most important factor for good reception and creating a good picture.With
DTV peak signal strength is not the most important factor for good reception.
This means that our old methods for finding a location and aiming a TV antenna
will not give us the best results for DTV. In choosing a permanent location for
our DTV antenna we want to look at a couple of mounting locations.There are
two methods for testing for the best antenna location:
1
1..
Terrestrial Digital receivers internal signal strength indicator.
2
2..
Conventional Analog TV pointing method.
Tip:
Do not use a convention signal strength meter for installing a DTV antenna.
Chances are this will give you false information and cause the antenna not to
work reliably. Severe ghosting is the number one reason for DTV reception
problems. Most severe ghosting occurs in locations where there is plenty of sig-
nal strength. A conventional signal strength meter will find this location.
