Maximize Your Reception (The Secret is Height!)
To get the most out of this extraordinary antenna, installation is key.
| Ideal Placement | Recommended Altitude | Advantage |
| Away from metal objects, gutters, and masonry. | At least 4 meters from the ground/support surface. | Minimize local noise. |
| Maximum Efficiency | Up to 15 meters high. | Capture the pure signal before it degrades. |
IMPORTANT: Technical Disclaimer (For Listening Without Surprises)
ATTENTION: The Mini-Whip antenna is an electric field antenna. By its nature, it is extremely sensitive even to strong signals, especially those generated locally (e.g., powerful FM transmitters, nearby broadcast stations, etc.).
In the presence of very intense local electric fields, the amplifier might overload (causing overloading), leading to distortion or intermodulation of the received signal.
We strongly recommend installing it as far as possible from sources of strong electrical and radio frequency noise to make the most of its exceptional Signal-to-Noise ratio.
Don't just hear the signals, listen to them! Add this enhanced Mini-Whip to your setup!
