RIGHT SIDE AND REAR VIEWS
Antennas such as dipoles, trap dipoles,verticals and
long wires will provide the best results on the LF,MW,
and SW bands.The type to use for best results depends
upon the desired receiving frequency, and will normally
provide adequate results on the FM band. Outside TV
antennas, folded dipoles, or coaxial antennas will pro-
vide the best results for reception of the FM broadcast
band, but will not provide optimum results on LF,MW
and SW bands.
Connect the outside antenna feed to the “EXT.ANTEN-
NA“ jack located on the left side panel.The best anten-
na for any of the previously mentioned frequency bands
will depend on the frequency range and time of day for
the particular signal in question. Refer to publications
such as the ARRL Handbook or ARRL Antenna Manual
(available in most public libraries) for help on selection
and/or construction of the antennas mentioned above.
VIEWING ANGLE
On the back of the receiver is a hinged panel.This panel
can be pulled out, and the receiver tilted back on it to
provide a convenient viewing angle when operating the
etón E1 receiver on a table or similar surface in front of
you, as shown below.
VIEWING ANGLE OPTION
When viewing at a new angle,it may be desirable to
readjust the LCD contrast control located behind the pull
down door.See page 13, item 5.
