12. ands For more information about choosing and positioning each type of aerial refer to the next section Choosing an aerial Choosing an aerial The KUDOS Tuner is capable of providing an extremely high quality signal with low distortion and very good sensitivity However its performance is determined by the quality of the signal you provide to it and this is dependent on the type of aerial you are using The type of aerial you will need depends on the quality of reception in your area and so it is difficult to give specific recommendations However this section describes the range of options available with recommendations to help you choose the best one Your Linn dealer can offer advice relevant to your area and help you install a suitable antenna FM reception For best results the FM antenna should provide a signal strength of at least 70dByV for strong stations which corresponds to a reading of S70 on the KUDOS display Ribbon antenna If you are in an area of high signal strength you may find that a ribbon antenna also referred to as a split flex dipole gives acceptable results However they are prone to fading and the signal can be affected when you walk around the room They are also prone to interference from computers or televisions in the same room so it is best to install them away from electrical equipment such as near a window A balun transformer is often recommended at the antenna end of the ca
