Features
AM Gain: The Terk Q (AF-1) antenna provides a +15dB gain for
AM, however, the signal is not boosted or amplified.
FM Gain: The antenna's gain control for FM signals can be
adjusted from -20dB to +44dB. The further away from the radio signal, the more
you should increase the gain. If you are close to a radio signal, you should
decrease the gain to reduce distortion.
Tuning Modes: The antenna has two tuning modes:
- Wide Band: Wide band tuning works best in most situations. The 8
LEDs on the font panel will turn from green to red as the gain is increased.
The gain should be set to where there is the least amount of noise.
- Narrow Band: For tuning to a specific station, you should switch
to Narrow Band tuning with its Pin-Dot Pre-Tuning feature. The gain control and the LEDs will guide you to find
the best signal possible. The left-most LEDs represent the lower end of the
dial (88 MHz), while the LEDs on the right represent the upper end of the
dial (108 MHz).
