  • QuestionHow does this connect to my FM receiver?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer In the back of your receiver, look for FM antenna connection. It should be either a Coaxial (like a cable TV adapter) OR a screw terminal (with two screws) OR push button terminals. Look for 75 Ohm or 300 Ohm written on back of your receiver. This unit has instructions for all three connections.

  • Question1). does it have 300 ohm input? 2). does it work in the basement?

    Asked by veldik.

    • Answer If your radio has a 75-Ohm FM connector, connect the antenna’s coaxial cable to your radio’s 75-Ohm FM connector. Or, if your radio has a 300-Ohm FM connector, connect the antenna’s coaxial cable to the balun adapter, then connect the other end of the balun adapter to your radio’s push-button or screw terminals. For the best reception it's better to install the antenna in a higher position that's away from large obstacles between the antenna and transmission tower. Install the antenna near a window. If possible, place the antenna within 6.6 ft. (2 m) of a window.

  • QuestionHow do I troubleshoot for static? Is there a full list of troubleshooting hints? If I move the position slightly, the static clears up, but comes back later. Now it appears to work best sitting in the floor, but sometimes works best on bookshelves

    Asked by Kay.

    • Answer Hi Kay, Move your antenna, then try tuning for stations again. • Keep the antenna away from TVs and sources of interference, such as air conditioners, hair dryers, and microwave ovens. • Avoid placing your antenna near large metal objects or in buildings with metal siding. • Your antenna may be too far from the broadcast antenna to receive an adequate signal. The signal may also be affected by obstructions between the broadcast antenna and your antenna. BestBuy Essential Support Shella
