Initial Setup

Connection to Radio and 

Antenna

 

These instructions cover the 

basic setup. 

Attach one end of the 5' PS2 

cable to the jack, labeled 

To Antenna, on the back of the 

Tuner Control unit. The arrow on 

the plug should face up. Please, 

DO NOT force the plug into the 

Tuner Control. It will plug in nicely 

when the pins are aligned.

Connecting Antenna Element

The other end of the PS2 cable 

will plug into the jack on the 

Antenna Element labeled 

To 

Control Box

. The arrow on this 

plug should also face up.

Antenna Element

The first time you use the Twin Coil Ferrite AM Antenna by C. Crane it 

takes time, planning, and a little bit of patience. You will need to re-check 

and re-tune the unit to find the best position. 

After you have found the best spot for the Tuner Control, Ferrite Stick, 

and Antenna Element, you can take the time to secure and make 

permanent the installation to your liking. The Ferrite Stick can be fixed to 

the radio using the included hook and loop fastener. 

If you have a problem finding a location for the Antenna Element that 

produces good results, be sure to try different areas within 50' of your 

radio. If you find a good position, you have the option of locating the 

Antenna Element there. If you need to mount the Antenna Element away 

from the radio for best reception, you may order additional cable in 

longer lengths.
