If it's a single wire coming out of the radio and no screw connectors, then it's 75 ohm and you could look at adding a longer wire, hooking up a single rod antenna to it or hooking it to the center of a 75 to 300 ohm transformer (probably a few dollars at Radio Shack) and hooking up rabbit ears to the 300 ohm end of the transformer. Gary E Thank you very much!!! It is a single wire coming out of the case & I do have a 75 to 300 sitting around somewhere & a dipole wire antenna, unless I had thrown it away when doing some cleaning. p.s. what wire size to splice to the wire antenna? the antenna wire looks very small. |
