FAQs

Can this antenna be used for DAB radio?

What is the maximum range of this antenna?

The antenna has an effective reception range of approximately 0 to 15 kilometers (0 to 9.3 miles), depending on local signal strength and environmental factors.

Can I leave this antenna installed outdoors permanently?

Troubleshooting

No or weak FM signal received

Ensure the coaxial cable is securely connected to both the antenna and the receiver. Try repositioning the antenna, ideally closer to a window or outdoors. Verify you are within the effective range of the broadcast towers. Check if the receiver is tuned to FM mode.

Increased static or interference

The antenna might be too close to other electronic devices that can cause interference. Try moving the antenna away from potential sources like Wi-Fi routers, computers, or power adapters. Ensure the antenna is oriented for optimal reception of the strongest local signals.

Antenna cable is damaged

If the cable is visibly frayed or damaged, it may need to be replaced. Contact customer support or a qualified technician for assistance.
