![]() "switcher" wrote in message ... On the picture, you'll see 7 connections for the cables, oe at the bottom (7), 6 at the top of the C. How do I need to connect the cables to have the maximum out of my AM/SW loop antenna ?? http://users.fulladsl.be/spb13810/amloop/tunablec.jpg I would like to know what I can do with screws A, B, C and D, and of course, where to connect the cable ends ... I am not sure how to connect the wires to the loop, but they go to the tabs that are numbered. The screws go to 4 small trimmer capacitors for adjustments. Usually that kind of capacitor comes out of an AM/FM radio and the capacitors are for fine adjustments of the ranges. One for the frequency of the oscillator and one for the tuning for each band. They mostly affect the high end of the band as they are small in compairison to the main capacitor. The are hooked internally to the main capacitors the shaft adjusts. If you look close you will see the half round plate turn as you turn the screw. A coil is usually adjust for the low end of the band. You go back and forth from the low end , adjusting the coil and to the high end adjusting the screw for the best tracking across the band. The oscillator for the frequency readout and the tuning for maximum signal. |
