Connecting the Antenna
Unless you already have a proper antenna in place, you might like to take
advantage of the supplied start-up antenna which comes with your G315
receiver.
This antenna consists of a 3-metre length of a coaxial lead-in cable, with an
additional 3 metres of insulated wire. The thinner, insulated wire at the end of
the coaxial cable is the actual antenna. It is necessary for the lead-in cable to
be as far away from the PC as possible, to reduce potential interference from
the PC.
Please note that this start-up antenna is supplied for initial tests and
immediate
gratification
only. It is not intended to replace a proper antenna.
The best placement of the start-up antenna depends on your actual situation,
and will often involve some experimentation. However, the basic rule is
simple: Place the antenna as close to the window as you can, and keep the
active part of the antenna as far away from the PC, and other electronic and
electrical devices, and metal objects, as possible.
An example of start-up antenna placement
No matter how good a radio receiver is, the performance of the entire receiving
system will depend on the quality of the antenna. The same applies to a
WiNRADiO receiver. To make the most of your G315 receiver, you should
install a proper antenna. WiNRADiO may also be able to assist with our wide
range of suitable antennas – check our Web page
