Can the ST-2 be placed in any direction, or is it only effective pointing in an upward direction?
The ST-2 can be placed in any direction. It is best to try it in different positions for maximum performance. What are the maximum distances the your antenna will pull stations in from? • SR 100: Used for local reception only (Max 20 miles) • ST-2: Mounted outside, flat terrain (Max 30/50 miles) • MD 6FMand MD 10FM: With a mast and rotor, flat terrain (Max 90-150 miles) How do Magnum Antennas compare with others? Any indoor antenna is sensitive to positioning. The advantage of the SR100 is that it can be rotated to maximize reception. The ST-2 will outperform any indoor antenna, but works best when placed outdoors. The key to any antenna is the one that works best in your situation. This often requires a little experimentation with a few antennas. Is RG59 the only cable for the ST-2? If not what else will work effectively? RG59 is what we include with the ST-2. RG6 also is effective, because it has lower losses and better shielding. It is recommended to be used in runs longer than 25 f
