The two plugs must be connected to the antenna
and earth sockets of a radio. After tuning the radio, the frame
antenna then needs to be tuned, using the knob on the left. The
knob on the right is used to select the wave length, long,
medium or short. In that case, the antenna input socket (below)
has to be used. |
