EXTERNAL AMIFM
ANTENNA TERMINALS
Although the Superadio normally provides excellent reception utilizing its built-
in antennas, it offers the additional capability of connecting outside AM or FM
antennaa to the EXTERNAL ANTENNA terminals on the cabinet back. External
antennae
can be used in poor reception areas (inside steel and concrete buildings)
or to improve recemlon of dktant stations. The antenna required for FM differs
from the type needed for AM reception.

EXCESSIVELY NOISY RECEPTION
The "noise" may becoming from outside sources such as the broadcast pro-
gram material, electrical "noise" from nearby automobiles, electrical lights
(fluorescent lamps), ets., also, noise will be more noticeable from distant
stations.
LONG DISTANCE AM LISTENING (DXing)
Because your Superadio Ill is designed for long-range AM recewlon you will gain
added enjoyment receiving broadcasts from dietant AM stations. You may listen
to newa, weather, spor@ and other special programming from ofher cities. A station
log has been included on page 6 to help you keep a DX (long distance recep-
tion) record of stations received.
AM reception is limited to a maximum of a few hundred miles
Although daytime
(depending on the strength of the radio station, atmospheric conditions, etc.),
at night you maybe able to pick up powerful stations over a thousand miles away.
This is because AM "sky-wave" signals are reflected off the ionosphere and back
to earth in the nighttime
hours.
