ANTENNA AND GROUND HOOK-UP
This Kit includes a length of Green insulated wire for use as antenna
and ground wire. Cut off about 5 feet (150cm) of wire for grounding
your Radio. A radiator or cold water pipe makes a sutable ground. To
make a good ground connection, carefully remove about 6” (15 cm)
of insulation from one end of the wire. Scrape any paint or dirt from
the ground pipe until you can see bright metal, then wrap the bare
end of the wire arond the pipe several times and twist it securely.
Remove ¼” (7 mm) of insulation from the other end of the ground
wire and connect it to the ground terminal 3, (GND) of your Radio.
The remaining wire is your antenna. Remove ¼” (7 mm) of insulation
from one end and connect it to the Short ANTENNA terminal (1).
Then extend the Antenna to its full length and position for the best
reception.
This Antenna will be suitable if you live in a city, near several radio
stations. If you happen to live some distance from the nearest station,
a 35 to 75 foot (10 to 25 m) outside antenna may be needed. You
should connect this antenna to the Long ANTENNA terminal (2).
