Arcam Delta 280 - Manual (Page 4)

® IF FUNCTION - When several radio
stations are situated close together on the
FM frequency band, a station with a
strong signal can interfere with a weak
adjacent station. In order to receive the
weaker station properly, a modified IF

narrow bandwidth filter, allowing the
Delta 280 to receive the weaker station's
signal satisfactorily.

As a guide, two amber leds and two
green leds ■wiH give adequate stereo
reception. AU eight leds ■wiU give the
best stereo reception ■with the least
possible background noise. In most
cases, you wiU need to use a roof
mounted aerial cormected to the mner
■with a good quahty low loss 75ohm co­
axial cable to achieve the best results.
The simple wire dipole aerial pro^vided is
only suitable for reception of strong local
stations.
