Application
O1MM –MAGNA25 is ideal for metropolitan areas around 150 km from the transmitter. The best thing about this antenna is that there’s a high gain log-periodic antenna with a heavy-duty 12.7 mm snap-lock element, which folds down for simple storage in your vehicle and easy access thru manholes as well as on tiled roofs.
The O1MM – MAGNA25 antenna is centred balance, meaning this ensures no gain is lost through short-circuiting the phase bars as with identical boom style.
Features and Benefits

- Made from Australia for strong conditions
- Receives channels 6 to 12 and 28 to 40
- Mounting clamp at the balance point prevents antenna sagging
- VHF elements 12.7mm diameter aluminium tube for larger strength and power

How to Assemble
- Snap the elements from the bottom
- Turn the antenna around and fold out the elements on the underside of the antenna

If you are planning to conduct a do-it-yourself installation of the antenna, make sure that you choose the right one. An outdoor roof-mounted antenna guarantees better reception compared to an indoor antenna. Thus, if you are residing in a place close to the television and not certain that an indoor antenna is good enough, then you should go for it. Otherwise, your choice must be an outdoor antenna. The kind of outdoor antenna you need depends on the channels accessible in your locality. Television channels either have UHF or VHF bands and the outdoor antenna must be based on the kind of channels you and your family members watch mostly.
When the installation is done, adjust the antenna until you have the desired picture and sound quality. Someone staying in front of the TV can help you change the antenna position. When you’ve found the proper positioning snug the bolt so the cable doesn’t swing in the wind.
