How do Magnum FM Antennas compare with others?
Any indoor FM antenna is sensitive to positioning. The advantage of the SR-100 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 feet. Can I attach one length of cable to another via an adapter? Will this detract from the effectiveness of the antenna? We do not recommend this method due to the Losses involved when using an adapter. If you choose this method, you must make certain that you are using exactly the same type of cable for both pieces. The effectiveness of the antenna will be affected by this, as there is approx. 2db of loss go
