High Performance Ferrite
rod antenna delivers Ultimate AM RECEPTION
Model 10 ferrite
loop antenna delivers better AM reception to any vintage to modern receiver or portable radio.Antique tube radios and communications
receivers
Compact cabinet
offers easy placement options and adjustments for Peak AM performance
Model 10's design profile:
Improved design over
past commercial AM ferrite antennas
Manufacturers used solid wire in there
ferrite design.Model 10 uses stranded or Litz wire that delivers additional signal gain across the frequencies.
This is a directional passive NON amplified antenna.Aim for best signal .
Technical description:
1,Model 10 is a 7 inch long solid ferrite rod litz copper coil loop.Antenna contained in
a compact High-impact ABS plastic black textured cabinet..
2,Polarization:
Horizontal. Antenna was and is designed to lay flat.Model 10 is a directional passive antenna (uses no electricity).
3, Detachable 6ft Coax cable with new special twin lead wire adapter for all
screw,post,push antenna terminals'.
For tuners with a AM coax jack,use a common coax cable direct.
4,Receives 550 to 1700 KHZs AM band.Local and distant stations.Also all international shortwave
bands
5,Impedance at 75 ohms.
6,Compact antenna ABS Plastic
cabinet measures 13"long by 4/1/2 by 1"height.
7,For antique radios use the
center lead wire of the cable only.Do not ground the antenna.Other radios set up to accept loop antenna's, connect both leads.
Note on 75 ohm Cable match twin lead transformers:
We found
common twin lead 75 ohm match transformers will reduce AM performance by 80%. They were designed for standard cable,off
air TV and FM frequency's.They will weaken your AM signal gain.So do not use
Antenna
is used used as a closed loop on most stereo receivers.
AM DAY/NIGHT RECEPTION...
Distant AM reception does improve at night verses day.Having a directional antenna
can and does improve a weak station signal and reduce noise
Static can be caused by power lines
or weather.Station drifting can be caused by atmospheric conditions,aircraft,sun spots etc.
